Marc Marquez nearly repeats iconic save but admits at Australian MotoGP: “I don’t have a lot of confidence”
Four years ago at the Australian MotoGP, Marquez rescued 🐷his Honda from more than a 70 degree an🎶gle.
This time around, at the same part෴ of the tr♍ack, he fell to underline a miserable Friday practice which he ended 16th-fastest.
“I had two mome🎃nts today in Turn 10. The second one? 𒊎I stopped the bike,” Marquez reacted.
“I w🌃as very close to a save like 20✅19. But we couldn’t.
“It was a good day, not bad.
“It was what I expected. The moment in Turn 10 di✤dn’t help. We were riding not well.”
Weather concerns means the full🌟-length grand prix will now on Saturday, and the sprint on Su💫nday.
“Yes, we always agree and follow 💯what Race Direction and th🌃e championship want to do,” Marquez said.
The eight-time world champion will swap Honda for Gresi🔜ni Ducati in 2024.
His final ဣrounds with Honda, after an 11-year relationship, are threatening to peteꦡr out quietly.
"I didn’t have confidence and that early crash in FP1 did༒🎀n’t help," he was quoted by .
"Basically, I don’t have a lot of confidence, and there are faster corners.꧂
“So on the fastest corners I am not pushing, I’m just c🀅ruising.
“I’m just pushing in t𓂃he slow corners and it’s there wh💙ere I am crashing, but that’s very safe.
"It’s just the fast corners, I don’t feel [g⛎ood] at the moment."
Al𒈔ex Rins was 12th on Fr⛄iday, the fastest Honda, a spot usually reserved for Marquez.
"He is riding in a very different way,” Marquez▨ said about Rins.
“But in a good way wit꧅h this Honda. But t𒆙he level is quite close.
"I will compare just to understand, but the lap tim﷽e isܫ just one tenth [faster]. I followed someone, he followed someone else, so it’s not the way to do the lap time. On the race pace, we are similar."
