Marc Márquez is not the one who appeared so far at the top of the timesheet when three days of tests were completed, but for all that, it is he who presents himself as the strong man of the period. From this follows the fact that he takes on the leather of the big favorite of the 2018 season which will begin in a month in Qatar. A dominant position which allows it to evaluate its future rivals…

Not only does the Honda work well, but the driver is also impressive. In Buriram, for example, under temperatures of more than 40° in the air, he completed 271 laps in three days and at an infernal pace. 78 on Friday, 96 on Saturday and 97 on Sunday. Sorry!

A real workhorse who even reviewed the new carbon swingarm. Enough to already gain a psychological advantage over its rivals. Because, during this time, the official Yamahas were in the doldrums and Jorge Lorenzo plagued by doubt. But in fact, how does the Honda official, who only wants to remain so, evaluate his competitors?

That being said, there are also uncertainties… “ There is also Zarco because it's strange that he could be in front with a Yamaha. Lorenzo is also a mystery. He was fast in Malaysia and in Thailand he suffered. But I think he will be there in Qatar ". See you in a month to check it all out!
