The pilots arrive in Japan which will mark the start of a grueling and sensitive overseas campaign. Even more so this year when the leading trio in the championship finds themselves united by only 28 points. With three races in as many weeks, you will have to number your players and count each point scored and lost. In such a context, allies are always welcome. But Marc Márquez, the leader of this frantic title race, only wants to count on himself.
The racing instructions are always the subject and there is not a driver who looks at the subject favorably. It will therefore take diplomacy and education in the stables to eventually put them into practice. Especially since the main stakeholders who could benefit from it do not encourage them. Andrea Dovizioso swears he will never ask for anything. As for Marquez, here is his position…
« If you are fast on the track, you don't have to depend on anyone. You just have to focus on your job in the pit, on your team, on your bike and get 100% from that. Without ever depending on anyone ».
That is clear. But that also means taking risks. We will recall in this regard that Pedrosa's teammate has already fallen on 22 occasions this season. But only twice in the race: “ There are three races in a row to do, and you can lose a lot of points by only choosing the wrong tires or if you make the wrong settings. You lose even more with a fall because there, it's zero points ».
« But the pressure for me turns into even more concentration which allows you to push the limits. But I think the title will be decided in Valencia and I hope to emerge victorious from this last fight ».
