MotoGP 2015 GP Qatar Honda Repsol – An anomalous start to the season for the reigning MotoGP world champion, who concluded the first race of 2015 with a fifth place following a comeback from last position. Starts have never been Marquez's strong point, but today a serious mistake strongly affected his race, preventing him from competing with the leaders despite him having a competitive pace.

“We should be happy because we took 11 important points, and we could have easily not taken any at all. It was a tough race, in which I made a mistake at the first corner and slipped to last place. I had to catch up, pushing hard throughout the race, but in the end I realized that I couldn't catch the leading group. The positive thing is that today we had a similar pace to that of the leaders. In Austin we will continue to work hard, with a greater desire to do better.”

      Wait for the next race and see what he answers..
      Calm and cold-blooded.

    And the first time I see him with a dark face, I think that the n1 is still him as a driver at the moment but he has already understood that this year will last...

    In Austin he will dominate as he would have dominated here, without mistakes he remains the man to beat, and the bike to beat.

    Guys this was last, he took 4 seconds on the first lap and then they increased I think up to 5-7 seconds during recovery, in the end he closed but was 2-3 seconds from Lorenzo and Iannone, in short from last to 2- 3 you understood right?

    Austin is a track where he is unbeatable for now, he gave 6-10 seconds to everyone in the past years, even if he finished last at the first corner, he could even win there instead of finishing fifth...

      And who believes it? only you...did you see what times Marc was shooting at or not? saying that he would have been part of the match is one thing but that he would have dominated means that you are not objective and you shoot shit and

      I'm out of tune, but you're really out of tune... but whether you get there or not, Honda, however superior, must stop and take a break like Rossi did otherwise they'll eat up all the liters and tires... like Marc did last year to win... like Rossi said, you recover, you recover then you stay calm, let the others run out of fuel, stay in the wake, don't overheat the tires and then make your move when the time is ripe...

      Marquez was unable to return but he was the best in the warm up, ahead of Rossi by 70 thousandths... in short, if he had started decently he would have won...

    You'll make up for it in Texas but this year it will be tougher...which is better for everyone and for the show

    ..You will have got 11 points but I would take some away from you... it's true that the open races aren't strong and you have to get "one".. but the blow you threw at Battista didn't fit...
    You waited 3 tenths and passed it with gas...
