After finding a miraculous set-up on the final day of pre-season testing in Qatar, Marc Marquez then confirmed he was in the running during the race weekend.
During this, the Repsol Honda driver admitted to having hesitated between securing 4th place and going for second, then finally crossed the finish line in third position, an unexpected result just a few days earlier.
The Argentine Grand Prix will therefore act as confirmation for number 93, especially since the circuit and the tires relating to it are not unfavorable to it, and that his misadventure of last year will undoubtedly not be repeated…
The Spanish pilot's flight having been canceled due to disastrous weather conditions departing from London, it is more than two days late that he will appear at the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit for the press conference, tomorrow at 17 p.m. hours. Or not.
Marc Marquez: “We head to Argentina in a positive frame of mind after finally securing a third place in Qatar, a result that wasn't really predictable before the start of the season. We worked very hard and very well, with Honda and with the team, during the weekend and on race day I was able to attack as hard as is currently possible. Of course we didn't have a test over the winter here to rest on, and we'll have to see if the setup we found in Qatar will work here too. Overall it would be a good step forward for us, and we could even aim for a slightly better result on Sunday. Of course, it will be a question mark until Friday, but all things considered, Argentina is a circuit that I like. We have always been fast here, so I feel positive for this weekend. »
