Marc Marquez responds to Jorge Lorenzo: “Sometimes it’s not enough to be the best”
Three-time champion Lorenzo has made it clear that he rates compatriot Marquez as the top rider in today’s MotoGP, and believes he would have won a title in t⛄he past three years if not for injurieཧs.
“With Jorge there was a lot of respect, I learned a lot fro🍬m him,” Marquez responded to DAZN.
“For me he was a point of reference like 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Dani Pedrosa or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi.
“I was able to compete against them and I managed to win against them, but above all to learn, which is 🌠the most important⛦ thing.
“Sometimes it is not enough tꦯo be the best, but you have to be the most complete, the smartest, the fastest.
“And may the team and the bike accompany you in the fight for the world cham𒊎pionship."
Lorenzo has also issued a stern warni💜ng that Marque⛦z must “choose between winning the title or making money” - suggesting that Repsol Honda, who reward him with a lucrative contract, can no longer provide him with the machinery to win the championship.
Marquez has already complained about his 2023 proto🅘type bike but has also defended team boss💃 Alberto Puig, as Honda put on a united front after their awful year.
Marquez’s hopes of matching Rossi’s seven premier class titles this year will depend on his own physical state, and the🧔 performance of his bike, neither of which held up to scrutiny in 2022.
