Marc Marquez says that having to control his emotions after a MotoGP Sprint victor💃y makes him “hate” the Saturday races.

Victory in the Spanish MotoGP Sprint made it five from five to start the season for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez, who says he “hates” the Saturday races.
A fifth successive victory in MotoGP’s half-distance Saturday races was enough for the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ducati Lenovo Team rider to take another record, beating 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin’s previous benchmark of four successive Sprint wins set i📖n 2023.
Marquez, aware of the importance of Sunday, said - light-heartedly - that feels some frustration towards the Sprint wins as he haꦦs to keep his mentality i🍸n-check before the full-distance race.
“Today was not easy, especially with this 𝓡warm temperature that changed a lot the feeling, but I already expected it,” Marquez said in his post-rac🌸e podium interview.
“I was struggling a bit in tꦡhe end but I was controlling.
“I always say the same on Saturday: I hate the Sprint race because I’m super-happy but I want to control my emotions because [Sunday] is the most important day. But, in front of this crowd, you have this extra poweꦯr.”
Marquez’s race began with a short-lived battle with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo, who qualified on pole position and led the opening lap. The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Monster Energy Yamaha rider crashed out on the second lap at💛 turn six, though, as Marquez ♌was making his move to the front, and the championship leader’s race was relatively comfortable from there.
“As I did in the other Sprint races, I tried to push in 📖the beginning and [then] control in the second part of the race,” he told MotoGP.com.
“When I had that second,ཧ second-and-a-half, 💛I tried to control that distance and it was enough.”
Looking to Sunday’s Grand Prix, Marquez was expecting Quartararo, as well as 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia who jꦯoined him on the Sprint podium, to be contending again.
“For sure, it looks like Pecco [Francesco Bagnaia] on Su🌳෴ndays is a bit stronger, so let’s see,” he said.
“But not only Pecco, also Alex [Marquez], also Fabio [Quartararo], will be super-strong. But Pecco won🍌 the last three Sundays here, so I expect a very strong Pecco –🍒 let’s see if we can control in a good way.”

Alex joined the team in August of 2024 having covered consumer and racing motorcycle news at Visordown for tꦕwo years.
