Statements Marc Marquez GP Aragon Day 1

“We had a perfect plan; a new tire in FP1 and then work on the race in FP2 but with the crash we changed our plan a bit. It gave us a chance to test the hard rear, so it didn't affect our race weekend too much. For sure when I fell I was frustrated because I felt everything was under control. Yes, I was behind Alex with the slipstream and I braked a little later, but I knew I was too fast and tried to go wide, but then I hit the dirty part of the track and crashed. That's why I was frustrated about the fall. I only pushed for a couple of laps today to save some energy, but so far when I push for race pace the lap time is there.”
