He didn’t finish last week’s Aragon MotoGP 💜but delivered a reminder of his class🍌 in Japan on Saturday, and can now chase a significant personal milestone.
The Japanese MotoGP 💟is also Marquez’s 150th MotoGP start. His 63rd care🔯er pole position was his first since the 2019 Japanese MotoGP.
And his appearance at the front of the grid is the ninth different pole-sitter of this season -⛄ a new MotoGP record.
He has played down his chances of victory, thougꦯh.
“I mean, if the race is 10 laps I will say ‘OK, yes the level is there, the speed is there’,” Marquez said. “But for 24 laps of the race𒀰, I'm not ready.”
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo, who leads the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2022 MotoGP standings by 10 points ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, said about Marquez: “He has the speed. He has the pace and he's starting from the pole. So I think you cಌan put a coin on him for the victory.”
But BT Sport’s Neil Hodgson disagreed: “What will happen is - Marquez’s arm will fatigue so🌳 much that he will not be able to keep the pace. So much G-force will go through his body.”
