MotoGP Italy Day 3, Marc Marquez (Ducati/1) is blunt: "There's no point in provoking, you have to respond on the track"

What a resounding victory for Marc Marquez in Italy. The eight-time world champion had a perfect weekend, arguably one of his best performances in MotoGP. Fast since Friday, author of his 100th pole on Saturday, he now scores his 93rd victory in all categories, all in the garden of his teammate Pecco Bagnaia, who was nevertheless undefeated on this track since 2022. Marc is heading straight for his ninth title.

The Spaniard now has a 40-point lead over his brother Alex in the overall standings, more than a Grand Prix's advantage. He, who hasn't won at Mugello since 2014, is enjoying the moment. "We worked harder than in Aragon, harder than in Aragon, and suffered more than in Aragon. But we enjoyed ourselves. Pecco attacked very hard, but he had to think about managing the tiresI decided to stay calm for a while, and after seven or eight laps, to get back to the practice pace. Once again my rival is Alex Marquez, he is having a great season » he asserted for Motosan.

 

 

The goal of having a lead of more than 37 points at some point in the season was one of Marc Marquez's priorities. It has now been achieved. "I'm very happy to have won here, because, I promise you, I came to Mugello thinking that I had to lose as few points as possible.Having a lead of more than 37 points is a real advantage, because it allows you to stay in the race despite a mistake. I'm not going to use this cushion to attack more, but we never know » he added.

 

 

Marc Marquez had something in mind for his 93rd victory, but he preferred to celebrate with a Ducati flag, so as not to stir up hatred among the tifosi. « There's no point in provoking, you have to respond on the dance floor. I'm fine, I'm comfortable, I don't need this." he concluded. This follows yesterday's Sprint victory, where he was booed by the main stand to the point that Davide Tardozzi had to defend him.
