Points, but this is it. It’s a way for me to start playing on the bike and have a better understanding of the setup and what I need, step by step things seem to be getting better, there are ups and downs and in some areas you can’t ride like me But we are improving and that is the most important thing,” Marquez said.

Same riding style as in the past, not exactly the same, but getting better and better,” insisted Márquez, hoping that “it will rain tomorrow,” and instead of asking for results, he said, “Today is to save energy.I’m already tired because I pressed a lot.” .

“If the race was tomorrow morning, we could have been in the top five, but the goal is not to focus on one position, but to keep moving forward. Tomorrow I will wake up and be more tired. I was at my limit in Misano, I was at my limit in Aragon, and I doubted whether I would run or not, but now I’m getting better with every race.
