MotoGP | Malaysian GP Race: Marquez, “I'm not interested in being the best of the Hondas”

Marc Marquez Statements Malaysian GP Sepang MotoGP 2022

“I'm happy with my weekend, Malaysia is one of those tracks on the calendar along with 2/3 others where I struggle more. In the winter tests I was the worst Honda, but now I'm better physically, I feel better and I had a solid race. I gave 100%, this was our potential, not what we showed yesterday. Today I pushed at the start, then I realized that that was the pace and that we couldn't give more. It will be important to relax physically this week to go on the attack in Valencia. This weekend we worked a lot for Honda until the warm up. We need to be closer to Ducati and Aprilia. Today I'm the best of the Hondas but I don't care, I'm looking at the gap to the leaders. I still feel like a child, I want to take risks, to push, the speed is still there and what I did yesterday is not a coincidence. We have more experience but there is still some recklessness and it is important.”
