The Spanish Marc Márquez, second best time for the MotoGP French Grand Prix that this Sunday takes place at the Le Mans track, acknowledged that “it seems that Jorge is not only one step, if not two ahead of us and everyone.” .
«He is driving very well, very fast and I know where I am losing, but there I cannot win much more, so tomorrow we will see but if the conditions are similar to today he has many numbers to achieve victory, but in a race, in On a Sunday, things can always change, ”commented the Repsol rider.
“Last year here we suffered a lot when accelerating and this is where we are losing all weekend,” Márquez recalled.
“I thought I could get him back in other parts, by braking, but Jorge is also braking late, he’s driving very well, so I can’t get him back with Jorge,” said Márquez.
When asked about the new Michelin tires, Marc Márquez stated that «now the tire is better, the limit goes to another place, more to the engine and the geometries, which is where on this circuit we are losing a little more, but we will see what happens tomorrow.
«Last year I was in first grade, so I was a little better, but it is true that last year the temperature rose a lot and it happened like in Jerez last week, everything changed, so we will see if the temperature rises or not, or if it stays, because if it stays, I think we’re there and if it goes up a lot we’ll see what happens ”, explained the Repsol Honda team world leader.
As a balance of the races contested to date, Marc Márquez said that “the reality is that for the moment we left Jerez more or less well and here we are suffering a little more, but yesterday we saved him, today we saved him a little better, so there is only one day left to finish saving the grand prize ».
