PANDEMONIUM IN JEREZ AS MARC NARROWLY MISSES OUT ON RACE WIN AND ALEX IS FOURTH
Some Sundays are difficult to forget. At the same place where four years prior his nightmare began, Marc Marquez is back on the podium at Jerez de la Frontera after narrowly missing out on the race win in the last laps. The 20 points scored today catapult the #93 up to sixth place, 32 points in arrears of leader Martin.
It was a very solid performance also for Alex Marquez, fourth at the line at the end of a good battle with Binder. It was a weekend among the protagonists for the #73, who was close to podium positions also yesterday.
2nd – MARC MARQUEZ #93
“I rode even too conservatively in the first five laps. Yesterday’s crash played a part and I wanted to make sure I made it to the finish line. Then I saw the chance to win and I gave it a try. Pecco defended the position strongly and it was good this way. Now winning is not a dream anymore, so let’s enjoy this return to speed and to podium ways.”
4th – ALEX MARQUEZ #73
“It was a positive weekend, and we did very well today despite a small problem with the front brake. We have an important test tomorrow so we must stay focused!”
