Marc Marquez is preparing for the joy of winning a seventh absolute title. This at 25 years old. With 67 points ahead of his runner-up in the general classification which is Dovizioso since the deadline at Misano, he can calmly manage the dominance displayed by the Ducati. Who takes on the air of a last stand. So, it's already time to think about 2019, a season which will be with a new teammate...
In an interview relayed by Tutomotoriweb, Marc Marquez first took stock of his situation: “ everyone says to me “It’s incredible what you do”. But I do what I love. I like to race and win. I don't want to think about the prize list. People say, “You broke the record.” But ultimately my goal is to have fun on the bike and get it to the podium. Sometimes you can have fun, but sometimes you suffer. In Austria, I really enjoyed the race, even though I finished second. It was fun because I felt the limit “ .
On his rescues which also made his reputation, he specifies: “ of course it's not just luck, because it happened very often. But if you ask me what I'm doing, I wouldn't be able to... If I lose the front, the reaction is to spread my knees and bend themare”.
That being said, it is already time to think about a future teammate who promises to be formidable: “ I'm already curious about how he will work with Honda because he has a different driving style. At the moment, no Honda rider drives like that. It will be nice to see and understand. I have already said to other journalists: I prefer that a driver can beat me in the fight for the title with the same weapons. So there's no excuse ».
« If you can do it, you can do it. Everything is open in our team. Do you remember Lorenzo and Rossi as teammates? A wall was placed between their areas in the box. But the data is transmitted by cable or wireless, so the wall is only mentally powerful. »
An allusion to Red which continues with this conclusion: “ my favorite driver. Hm… A good reference is Valentino. What he does is impressive ».
