The Repsol Honda rider is largely using the remainder of the 2023 season to develop next year’s bike, but is also rebuilding confidence following a series of crashes an𓆏d injuries.

An usually low-profile race on Saturday at the Red Bull Ring allowed M📖arquez to learn more about his machine, even if that information was disappointing.

"We have started the race with a setup that we had not tried before and that🌞 has provided some information,” he told . 

“[Sunday] we will surely take another step in another direction to understand in the warm-up and, if we are not clear, then we will also do the race with tha💫t new concept to understand.

"Right now, finishing 10th or 15th doesn't change much✨ for ꧂me.

"I leave motivated because I always leave mo🌜tivated, but🌱 with a motivation to continue building."

Honda tested new aerodynamics on Friday and💞 Saturday in Austria.

"Obviously, if yo♉u hit the key, you don't change", Marquez explained.&🐎nbsp;

"Then, the rider can focus on drawing, on riding and on finding the limits on that🌱 bike.&n🎐bsp;

“What I tried to do [on Saturday] is, based on yest𒈔erday, try to find that limit.

"I saw this morning in Free Practice that the limit of the bike had already been found, more or less, and I told them that it is time t🦩o change, to try something for the sprint race. 

“During the sprint race I saw✱ that I have reached that limit, because it is time to reach another one.

"Yes, we are looking fo♎r things, but the problem remains the same. 

“Lack of grip, of acceleration... 

“That is where we have to know, because the power is there, what is missing is to deliver that power to the🉐 rear tyre to use it.”

Marquez profited from the massive pile-up c𒁏aused by Jorge Mar🌠tin at Turn 1 of the sprint race. 

He✱ knows that, without it, his ❀10th-place finish would have been worse.

"At all times I am honest: we have seen ourselves benefited by the [inciꦯdent] of the first corner, I have passed ninth and I have finished tenth,” he said.

"I was losing steam 𒁃during the race. I felt quite good during the first laps. 

“✤Then the tyre has gone down and we have been suffering more.

"I finished the race in 10th position, but, speaking clearly, seeing who crashed it was 15th position morღe or less.”

Marquez begins Sunday's grand prix from 18th. He hasn't completed a Sunday race all seꦦason yet.
