Thailand MotoGP: Marc Marquez: Gigi and Honda? “I won’t speak about ‘if, if, if’” | "Best way to defend is attack"

A surprise fourth in the Sprint, the Repsol Honda rider soon became embroiled in some ‘intense’ early battles, including banging fa🏅irings with Aleix Espargaro, the rider he passed on the last corner of the Sprint.
Marquez had dropped to eighth by the middle stages of the grand p♉rix before reigniting his 2019 victory duel with Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo for 🎃sixth.
This time, the Frenc🌃hman prevailed by less than a second, but both were then moved up a place when Espargaro was demoted from fifth for a (second) breach of the tyre pressure regulations.

Meanwhile, five seconds ahead, Duc🌜ati won for the 14th time in 17 MotoGP races courtesy of Jorge Martin.
Ducati’s technical guru Gigi Dall’Igna recently confirmed 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:he turned dowꦐn an appro💙ach from Honda. But if he had accepted, might Marquez have reconsidered his exit from Repsol Honda to join to 𝔉Gresini Ducati next season?
“I don’t know if it was possible or not,” Ma🌜rquez replied. “The [Gresini] decision is made. So I won’t speak about ‘if, if, if⭕’.
“Now, as you see, ไI am more free. I am just riding the bike, I don’t care about anything. I am just looking to keep the intensity of these last races so when I go to the new project, I will have the pace.
ꦯ“Enough [pace]? I don’t know. But at least I will be ready.”

Quizzed on the꧑ obvious intensity he had shown on Sunday, Marquez added:
“Yeah today I went out and I was, as we say in Spanish, ‘warm’ ['up for it']. I tried to attack in the beginning. I realised immediately, if I am not attacki🧸ng, every time I go into Turn 1-3, one bike wou🌊ld overtake me.
“So then I said ‘The best way to defend is to attack’. And I started to attack. The way to attack with our bike is in the braking points. I was braking late at Turn 5,🐠 Turn 11 and 12. But it was not enough.
“[In the battle with Aleix] we lost one-and-a-half seconds in one lap! Then he had more♒ pace. Especially with the hard rear tyre. Yesterday I beat him, today he beat me!
“As every weekend with the hard rear tyre, it’s more constant but we are struggling with performance. We are dropping performance. The difference in time, the way t൲o 🍎ride is different.
“Then in the end when Fabio overtook me, I was able to catch hi🌠m, but I was overriding too much. It was important to finish the race so I stayed calm.”

The ’93 reveal🌌ed he had come close to joining brother Alex in gam𒀰bling on the medium rear tyre.
“Yesterday with the sprint race, we saw the tyre consumption was super high," he said. "Today, it’s tr✱ue that I was thinking a lot, about choosing the aggressive option, the softer [medium] rear tyre.
“And maybe it was okay, ♑I don’t know. But then I chose the same as everybody and tried to control it myself all the r🦹ace. I was looking for a stable weekend and we achieved it."
T🍬he next best Honda rider was Joan Mir in twelfth.

Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the ﷽Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
