Marc Márquez secured his second consecutive victory at the San Marino GP, and is now just 53 points behind leader Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac/Ducati). It was a win in a challenging race, with light rain complicating conditions and muddling strategies for some riders.
When asked by Cadena SER whether the title is still a possibility, the #93 stayed true to his previous statements: ‘I will continue with my message: if I want to win, I must change, and above all, I need to change some aspects. The key is not to make mistakes in crucial sessions’.
Despite his victory at the San Marino GP, Márquez acknowledged that luck was on his side after a less-than-ideal qualifying: ‘Here in Misano, for example, in qualifying, I made a mistake and didn’t complete the fast lap that would have put me in the first or second row – which would already give you possibilities in the race. And on Sunday, I was lucky that four drops of rain fell and allowed me to recover, because if you start from the third row, you end the first lap two or three seconds behind the leader because it’s impossible to overtake so many riders – especially in the current MotoGP’.
Regarding his championship chances, the Spaniard added: ‘As long as it is possible, it is clear that we will give our maximum in every race and every weekend’.
