On pole and the clear pre-race favourite, Marc Marquez concocted two different strategies depending on hi💝s position at turn one of Sunday's Argentina MotoGP.

"Plan A was a good start, pushing from the beginning,"🐷 saiꦑd the reigning five-time MotoGP champion.

"Or Plan B, which was not such a good start - because you never know about Ducati with that holeshot system! I was thinking if they start first, I will save the tyres i🀅n the beginning and push in🐽 the end."

But the Repsol Honda rider did get the holeshot and put Plan A to d♕evastating 𒆙effect.

"The start was perfect, I was so concentrated. I saw in the first lap that it was '+0.7', 𒀰maybe a little bit more, and then just I kept pushing. I understo꧟od that the first laps were where I could make the biggest difference and this was the strategy.

"At the end I was not pushing at my 100 perc🌠ent because I was trying to manage the risk."

Marquez's official winning margin was 9.816s🌼, despite backing off in the closing stages, making it his biggest ever dry victory.

"We need to enjoy and be happy about the weekend, but in🅠 the end the [winning margin] was big but the 25 points are the same," said the Spaniard, whose only real difficulty this weekend was when his chain derailed in FP4.

"So I'm happy, ꦕbut we need to keep pushing because other tracks will arrive where we will struggle more. But when we have this feeling, we need to use all our potential to take the 25 points.

"For some reason this weekend since I went out from the pit box I was in good shape and when you are in good shape, when you have that sweet feeling, everything co𓆉mes easier."

With Qatar winner Andrea Dovizioso losing second place to Valentino Rossi on the final𓂃 lap, Marquez also takes over the early world championship lead,🍒 at a venue where he suffered a nightmare three race penalties and zero points one year ago.

"Last yea🐼r I felt very similar," Marquez said of his start to the season. "I mean, last year of course here we took zero points here, but the speed was there. I was really, really fast on the race but we did a few mistakes.

"Now we will ꦕsee, but always I try to 💮be quiet because the championship is very long and other tracks will arrive.

"But what I can see is that it's always the same names up around the top five. That means if you do one mistake you can drop many positionജs in the championship…"

Round three takeꦡs place at COTA in two weeks, a track Marquez has never been beaten at.
