Marc Marquez Statements 2022 Le Mans MotoGP Qualifying

“This morning the feeling and pace weren't bad, we also did a good lap, ok I followed Quartararo but I felt good and found a good speed. In the afternoon with the hottest conditions, from FP4 I didn't feel as good as before with the bike and I was looking for the best way to ride but I crashed. I went out in qualifying on new tires and was quite confident, but the speed just wasn't there, nor the feeling. We need to understand why. Normally I can adapt better to the conditions, but today I couldn't find the way. But when you look at the table, our pace is not that far away and I think we can fight in the second group."
