Montmelò – Marc Marquez, after Le Mans, finished another Friday out of Q2. We have to recover, we have to get through Q1. However, the eight-time world champion was expecting a difficult day.
Was it the day you expected?
“Yes, yes yes. It was the scheduled day that we hoped to avoid, we knew we would suffer here, even if not this morning but in the afternoon we did and we didn’t get through to Q2, which was the objective. We have to go through the worst session of the week , Q1”
Why did you suffer in the afternoon?
“At the beginning I felt good with the average but in the time attack it didn’t work, I didn’t make the most of it, I didn’t get through to Q2 for a little while, but the good thing is that I set the time on my own”
What do you expect for Saturday?
“It will be difficult, qualifying will decide a lot, a weekend like Le Mans is possible, two difficult, three very difficult. Let’s see if we can get through to Q2 and then if we can be in the front rows”
There are 4 GP24s in Q2 and no GP23s…
“In other circuits with the 23 we made a difference and here we didn’t”
What is the technical problem? Traction?
“There is little traction here, my personal point is entering the corner, I couldn’t do it the way I wanted, I didn’t find the right balance”
What are the tracks where you have the most difficulty?
“Qatar, Montmelò, I could say Malaysia, a bit of Indonesia”
