Seen in Valencia as Marc's brother, it was as a rookie rider for Honda in MotoGP after a title in Moto2 that he was considered in Jerez. Because we cannot take away from Álex Márquez the fact that he finished his performance at the head of the trio of beginners, and improving his times. Enough to leave for the winter break with the reassuring feeling of having acquired a working base in mind…
Alex Marquez completed 106 laps in total over the two days spent at Jerez, i.e. 70 Monday and 36 Tuesday. An undermining work which only stopped on the second day because of the rain. After stopping the clock at 1'39,413 at the end of the first day, the youngest of Márquez was able to lower this performance on Tuesday morning to sign a personal best time of 1'39,224, 2,093 seconds behind the fastest Maverick Vinales since the first day.
This performance allows Alex Marquez to place 17th in the two-day combined general classification, finishing ahead of the new driver Iker Lecuona (21º +2,749) and Brad Binder (22º +2,812), both KTM riders. Furthermore, the two days of testing took place without incident, unlike his illustrious brother whose fall on the first day ultimately led him in the operating room to treat his right shoulder.
« The weather conditions were not ideal but in the morning we were able to take another step forward and improve our time on worn tires, which is good news for us ", said Cervera's other driver on Tuesday afternoon. “ Like yesterday, when we started putting together new pieces, it started to rain, so that's something we'll always have pending. »
« We tried the bike a bit in the rain and I felt good. I'm happy with this second day, even if there is still a lot of work to do. We know what we have to do at home to prepare for the start of Sepang » finishes the Spaniard. See you in Malaysia from February 7 to 9, 2020, where he should get to know the latest opus of the RC213V.
