We report his remarks here without any formatting.


🎤 Marc, this is obviously a huge weekend for you, so I imagine it's crucial to execute things perfectly at every important moment. Qualifying is always tricky, especially when the pace is this high. Mission accomplished in the end with that front-row start?

Marc Marquez : "Yes, that was the main objective."
As I said yesterday, the first line was not easy to obtain and here we are.
We know Marco has another level of pace this weekend. He's very fast.
We need to understand this and try to do our best.
