Marc Márquez warned when he arrived in Japan: even if titled, he would not lower his flag. Something promised, something due for the moment with this pole position at Motegi. It was the last track on the calendar at which he had never started from pole position in any MotoGP race. There you go, it’s done! That being said, the Honda official got heated watching his brother Álex's rescue during FP3 in Moto2. And he still laughs about it...
Marc Márquez will have something to discuss with his brother Álex during family meals. Because if the eldest is a master in the art of rescuing the most desperate situations, in one fell swoop, in a Moto2 test session, the younger one stole the show for a long time... " It was incredible. Now I have a good shoulder, but if I had this last year it would have popped. He passed me spectacularly. They always say that the little brother surpasses the older one. I've watched it 50 times and I never tire of it. This happens once or twice in life. He stayed on the bike and saved himself from injury. But I would have liked to see the panicked face in the helmet! And I would have recorded it to play in slow motion. »
Save of the century? 😱😱😱

« On Friday we didn't start as planned, there weren't normal conditions, but today we took a step forward with a change we made and we are more prepared to fight for the victoryre » adds the one who now claims 90 pole positions. “ For the race, there are Quartararo, Viñales and Dovizioso. I don't know how it will turn out, but these three have a little more. Without forgetting Franco. It looks like the Yamaha is working and for Dovi, it's one of his favorite circuits. I hope to be there to fight for victory » finished the Honda official.
