MotoGP, "Marc Marquez would like to win the title in Japan, with Honda" but who said that?

Marc Marquez's MotoGP world title is no longer in doubt, but it remains to be seen whether he can lift the trophy in Japan in two weeks. To do so, he will simply need to score three more points than his brother Alex Marquez. which, given his recent performances, should be a mere formalityPol Espargaro thinks Marquez would love to win the title in Honda's Motegi, but why?

"Pollycio", both a consultant for DAZN and a replacement rider for KTM, has given his analysis of the 2025 San Marino Grand Prix, as can be found on MotosanHere is his feeling about the Sunday race: "Marc is aware that he was already almost assured of the title before arriving here, that he did not need to do what he did, to take so many risks, to attack so much. It was a very physical race, very difficult for him and for Bezzecchi, and they ended up riding very fast here in Misano. On a complicated weekend and a very physical circuit, finishing at this speed is really, really difficult »

I gave it my all and we won in Misano!!
So happy for Ducati and proud that the title stays in the Márquez house!

According to Pol Espargaro, Marc Marquez would love to be crowned champion in the home of his former employer, Honda. « He told us in his interview that it was very important for Ducati to achieve a double victory in Italy, at Mugello and Misano.. And they succeeded. I think he will be less stressed in Japan, and it's a circuit where he excels. I think Marc will have the pleasure of winning this world championship in Japan, at Honda, and to be able to celebrate it with the many Japanese fans he has gathered throughout his career » he continued.

For the 2 Moto2013 world champion, the end of the season could be slightly more complicated for Aprilia, which historically tends to suffer in Asia. “In recent seasons with Aprilia, We found that the second part was their weak point. At the beginning of the year, they started very well, then they more or less maintained their form. But in the run-up to the Asian tour, in recent years, Aprilia has tended to lose a lot of speed » he concluded.
