Marc Márquez : " Yes of course. Honestly, I felt really, really good with the first tire and just tried to find a good lap, and I did it on my own. That was the main strategy. Then, with the 2nd tire, there was a lot of traffic when I left the pit lane, but I was the one best placed in the classification of those who were in traffic.

So we waited and played our strategy a little bit, then the tires were ready in the last lap and I had a really good lap. Of course, Valentino was in front, a little far away. Maybe I didn't take enough of his suction, but sure, it helped a little. But whatever happens, to ride in a small 1'58 you have to be fast, but also smart about strategy.”
