Marquez: at Misano to get back on the podium

Share


With no time to relax, Marquez has just left Silverstone and Misano already awaits him. The Honda rider arrives in Italy occupying a strong position - after sorting a race that could have taken a much worse turn - and he likes the circuit in Emilia Romagna.

It is no coincidence that he won here from 2010 to 2012 (first in 125 and then in Moto2) and even last year in MotoGP. This is a good chance to widen the gap ahead of Rossi, already at 50 points, but there are still 6 races left in the season.

All in all we got an okay result in England, as even though we didn’t make the ideal choice with the front tyre, in the end we lost just three points - he reflects on the last GP - Now we head to Misano, which is quite a different track as it is twisty and slow. In San Marino I expect to fight again for the podium if we work well during the weekend. I’m happy to go racing in Italy, where I really hope the weather will be nice and give us the chance to make the most of every session.

Dani Pedrosa is also anxiously looking forward to the Misano round. The Spaniard is struggling this season, but he is sure that he is taking important steps forward to get back on top.

We arrive in Misano from a race that helped us to gain a little bit more confidence and motivation - he says - Lap by lap, I was better able to understand our strong points and weak points. We need to keep the same style in the next race weekend, focusing in the practices, not making too many changes on the bike and working to understand how to use the tyres better, choosing those that adapt better to the track.
