Questioned if he can be competitive like the front runners on dry tarmac until the end of the season, the Spaniard ruled out that scenario: ‘No. I would like to say yes, but in India and here there are stop-and-go corners and that’s where I can take a risk on braking, turning and making a strong exit to have good acceleration. But we will go to Mandalika and there are some corners where you need to use the lean angle, you need to use that edge grip, the traction. And that’s where we are losing a lot and you can’t do anything because we simply slide‘.
That said, Márquez emphasized that he will not give up and will continue to seek good results: ‘I will try to do my best as I always have, but it will be harder. Still, we have to enjoy the good moments. In India it was a good weekend, here today and even yesterday the sprint race was good. So, let’s see if we can continue like this until the end of the season‘.
