MotoGP, Marc Márquez, Honda: “I no longer want to be the one who falls most often in a season”

It is with a shoulder still convalescing following a delicate operation that Marc Márquez will embark, in a few weeks, in Qatar, in the quest for an eighth absolute title. Now 26 , the Honda official is the man to beat in the premier Grand Prix category. To get to this point, he spared no effort and never gave up taking all risks. One last point which makes him a paradox: he strings together victories and titles like others do pearls but he is also the one who falls most often in a season. A pitfall that he will want to get rid of in 2019.

Marc Márquez is the one who restores the most desperate situations, but he cannot infinitely defy the laws of gravity. He knows the fall, and he always gets back up from it. Miraculously? There is that, in addition to exemplary physical condition. But this year, it has diminished. And the passage of time wears out his body just as much. So we'll have to start thinking about staying on our wheels more often and teasing destiny less. An observation that Alex's older brother decided to turn into a good resolution for this season.

In comments relayed by Tutomotoriweb, he assures : " I don't want to be the one who falls the most during the season. Every driver knows when he can take risks, in which corners he can go to the limit and in which not. My crashes almost always happen in slow corners and I want to work on this situation in the future ».

The Spaniard continued: “ I have a fairly aggressive driving style, I like to risk and go to the limit. I often slide in the corners, I often saved falls from the front in 2018. If you want to make a difference, you have to take risks. I want to keep the speed, but with fewer crashes. It's a new goal ". However, chase away the natural… “ But if I have to fall to win the world championship, there's no problem ».

Marc Márquez then concluded with a thought for his new teammate: “ having Lorenzo as a teammate is obviously a new challenge for me, a new motivation, because he is very fast, with a lot of talent. We have to prepare ourselves because we both have the same bike. I have to try to be consistent and fast to be in front of him and the others. The goal is to try to win, but here as in all motor sports, your teammate is your first opponent ».
