Marc Marquez, at 25, has now won seven world titles. He is also the one who falls the most in one season. But when he falls, it's as if he chooses his moments. Rarely does an accident happen when points for the title race are at stake. What makes this paradox: the same Marquez is also regular. Without yet playing the grocers, the martial man from Cervera is slowly converting to the principle of being above all at the finish. An evolution he talks about…
Marc Marquez is a constant attacker in a flamboyant style which is his trademark. But for all that, he doesn't do anything at any time. He masters his art perfectly. An approach which he opens up about in an interview with Solomoto… “ Every year we try to improve and not make mistakes from the past. For example, in Sepang, everything wasn't perfect, but I managed to fight to win the race. Before, in the same situation which would have put me away from the front runners, I would have pushed myself and fallen. I think that's the big difference between the Marc Márquez of now and the one of the past. And this can help us in the future ».
What else has he learned in 2018? “ Lots of things, but I think Dovizioso was more consistent. I tried to have this consistency and regularly get on the podium. We have improved in this regard despite a few falls. We got on the podium in most races and that's the way to win the World Championship ».
« The best moment was at Motegi, when I won the title, but also at Motorland or in Malaysia, because I won without having the best package. The worst moment was the fall of Mugello ».
And for 2019? “ I don't like to give names, but there will surely be the two official riders Yamaha, Ducati, Suzuki. The Ducati will be the bike to beat again, a very fast bike, but I hope Honda gives us something more. Although, as always, perseverance will be the most important, in addition to being fast ».
