On last Sunday, Marc Márquez was close to his first podium in a main race since moving to Gresini. However, he couldn’t resist the brake issues on his Ducati and crashed while leading the MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americas.
Frankie Carchedi, the rider’s chief mechanic, didn’t hide his disappointment with what happened, praising the performance while ensuring that the issue will be rectified:
– I am devastated for Marc. Being in the front with the issue throughout the race was truly incredible. We found the pace we needed compared to Saturday, but an unfortunate problem arose during the race, which we will study and correct.
The engineer also recalled Márquez’s trajectory in the early season: ‘Only three rounds have been completed. Two podiums in Sprint races. Led a race. And a lot of action. There are still many areas to work on‘.
At this moment, after always fighting for podium positions since Qatar, Márquez is eighth in the championship. Incidents prevented him from scoring points in the main races in Portugal and Austin.
