Alex Márquez finished the Catalunya GP in 7th position overall. The Spanish rider is now in 11th place in the MotoGP world championship as he arrives at the Italian circuit of Mugello.
In the debrief, the Gresini Racing MotoGP rider talked about the events of the race and his weekend at “home”.
– Well, more or less saved, with a seventh place and a good feeling. Throughout the weekend, I had a good feeling, I only missed Friday because of the incident and I missed being in Q2. I think we had good speed to be on the second row, which would have completely changed the race, as it happened in Jerez and as we all know. But well, I think I did my best in the race, I struggled a bit at the beginning, maybe I was too cautious because of the “soft” rear tire and lost some time. Then, with some fights, both with Enea and Binder, which cost me a bit to overtake and I lost a second that made me lose the top 5, but, as far as I can see, as I did throughout the weekend, positive.
He also added about what needs to improve in the upcoming races: ‘Well, I think it’s true that we missed a bit in Le Mans, but I think we found a very good base and I think now we have to look for that stability of not changing the bike too much, always trying to give our best and, especially on Fridays, trying to see something more, right? That’s the goal for Mugello and from there, we will try to give our best.’
