Marquez’s Austin race was held back by a problem at the start of his Honda: the Spaniard talks about it but does not go into details: “Problems can happen with a new bike, but it is important to have identified and solved the problem: I know ‘it is but I can’t say it, I don’t know if Honda will do it. But in 10 years with Honda I have never had a technical problem and we grow in this way too “.
ready for the challenge

Last year Marquez in Portimao took part in his first GP after the ordeal of his arm fracture with a triple operation and this year he is looking for another type of regularity: “In 2021 my return was good, after so many ups and downs, but now we have to understand if we can continue steadily with the new bike. The track is beautiful, with many ups and downs, but it is not easy because you have to follow the flow: if you find it everything becomes simpler and more linear, while if you struggle with your bike it becomes everything much more complicated. Here compared to Austin, the track is narrower and we need to be more precise, but I feel in good physical shape and ready to accept the challenge. ”
