In what was maybe the most dominant MotoGP win of any rider this season, Marc Marquez made it seven wins from eigh🤡t tries at COTA, while also mak♋ing Austin his second most successful venue behind Sachsenring. 

The♐ eight-time world champion eventually won by 4.6 seconds after leading from start to finish. 

Up next for Marquez is a return to Misano, a track he expects to be tough given t🔜he recent race and test there. 

However, Marquez has already set his eyes on the final two rounds in Portimao and Valencia, two tracks that although not left-handers, both have characteristics that should suit him.&nb🌺sp;

"It’s true that three races remain. Misano will be difficult because everybody will ဣride so fast," said Marquez. 

"With the previous race, the test and ev🐲erybody will be too fast, so there will pass the race. But then the last two races will be interesting for me to understand where I am, esꦫpecially with the right corners in Portimao."

Marquez finished seventh at Portimao earlier in the year - his first race back from injury, but given his improved physical condition and the up-down nature of the Portuguese circuit, it’s one that should provide opportunities, despite nine of the 15 corners being rig♓ht-handers.

Post race in A🌜ustin, Marquez was also asked about the consistency he showe💯d with the tyres and his physical condition - COTA is notorious for being one of the toughest tracks in both aspects.

Marquez 🌄put this down to being a rider ‘that if I can do a lap time in practice then I 🉐can repeat in the race’, something others have struggled with this season at times, while also finding a new line through turn four thanks to studying Bagnaia. 

The Repsol Honda rider added: "I’m a rider that if I can do a lap time in a practice then I can repeat in a race. It’s true that sometimes you go out and sometimes the feelin🌜g is not the same and you struggle more. 

"But my pace was the one that I showed on the practice; 2m 4s middle with the new tyre, and 4s high with the used tyrꦰe.𝓰 

"Then, the last five laps I slowed down because the gap w⭕as big. The feeling was great and I rode like in the practice.&nb𒉰sp;

"If Fabio [Quartararo] were to push I knew the points where I was able to take more risk, that was especially turn 💛two, three and four, but riding like this I was able to be comfortable. 

"Also in turn🌼 four, yesterday I checked the videos and saw Pecco [Bagnaia], so I copied his 𓂃line and this helped a lot. 

"I said ‘what is he doing, he was cutting the kerbs൩ a lot’. The (lap) time was similar, but with less fဣorce."
