MotoGP United States GP Honda Repsol Qualifying – Marc Marquez achieved his first pole of the season in Austin, #46 in MotoGP. The reigning Honda champion, a true star in America (since 2013, his debut in MotoGP, he has always obtained pole and tomorrow he will seek yet another victory), had to deal with a less than perfect physical condition, with a fall and with a Maverick Vinales who is in great form and with whom he had a disagreement on the track. The word is up to him.
“I'm happy, even if Under Investigation. I apologized to Maverick (Vinales, ed.). I was hoping he wouldn't reach me but he was there. It was a fantastic pole even if today was a difficult day. In FP4 and FP3 I had a good pace, today I woke up sick, with a fever and a sore throat. Tomorrow I hope to improve my form – said Marc Marquez – The crash in qualifying was "crazy". The level is high, but I'm happy. Honestly, with Vinales I was more careful to look at Iannone in front, because he wanted to follow me, so I didn't see him. Then I let it pass and apologized. For the race I think that Maverick is the one who can get close to me, then there is Iannone and Valentino, who always arrives in the race on Sunday."
