It is with his head in the stars surrounded by his fifth career crown that a euphoric Marquez arrives in Australia. At Phillip Island this weekend, he will still have a job to do: that of securing the manufacturer's title for his employer and consecration for this team which is also entered in a championship.
However, it's a safe bet that this time Cervera's man will let go. The good father seen so far this year should fade away to once again become the turbulent child we know. The key will be to know whether or not this return to basics will disrupt the family affair which is coming at Yamaha between Red et Lorenzo.
« It's fantastic to arrive at Phillip Island without the pressure of the championship, especially as it's one of my favorite tracks alongside Austin and Aragon » warns MM93. “ This circuit is fast and you always have fun driving there. You will have to be wary of the weather because at this time of year, it is windy and it is cold. Those are two things you really feel, especially at the end of the pit straight. You need to adjust the motorcycle so that it is as stable as possible ».
« We will try to win other races before the end of this season and we also have to think about the constructors' and teams' titles. ». Marc Marquez won the Australian Grand Prix last year after taking pole position. He is also the winner of the last two races contested. He has five goals at this stage of the season. Pedrosa injured and convalescing since Motegi, this time his teammate will be Nicky Hayden, the 2006 World Champion with HRC.
