MotoGP Assen, Press Conference: Marquez, “I like Assen, we can be close here”

Dutch GP MotoGP Press conference – Marc Marquez, fresh from second place in the Barcelona Grand Prix, sees the next GP in the Netherlands very positively.

The Honda Spaniard, in the press conference, seemed very confident, claiming that despite the strength of Ducati and Yamaha, HRC can compete here. All this always under the uncertainty of the weather which could distort the values ​​on the pitch.

These are the words of Marc Marquez: “It was a difficult weekend in Barcelona but we managed to finish well. We improved our pace and I felt comfortable. We are looking forward to this weekend and will try to find the stability that we have not found until now. Assen is a circuit that I really like, with this engine we can be closer. We know that Yamaha and Ducati are very strong in the dry here, let's see what happens. The weather is always a question mark and we will have to adapt.”

Yesterday was the news of the renewal of Cal Crutchlow's contract, directly with HRC. Although the two race in different teams, the Briton's team refers directly to the parent company, helping in the development of the bike. In this regard the reigning world champion said: “Cal's renewal is good news, because he raced with different bikes and always gave useful information. We often find ourselves aligned on comments and have similar driving styles. He works well and we have tried to build the best package for the future."
