MARC BOUNCES BACK TO FIFTH PLACE IN MISANO SPRINT RACE

It was a good Saturday on Italian turf for Marc Marquez and Team Gresini Racing MotoGP, with the rider #93 who – after an eventful Q2 – was able to bounce back and finish fifth, scoring valuable points for the championship standings.

It was an ‘endurance’ race for Alex Marquez who was seventh on the grid and eventually ended up just outside the points for a few tenths of a second (10th). The Spanish rider did well in making it through Q1 even though there is still work to do for tomorrow’s race – with the weather that may shuffle the cards.

5th – MARC MARQUEZ #93

“We ruined our weekend with the qualifying crash. That lap that I did not complete may have placed me on row two and that would have dramatically changed today’s goals. Today we did everything we could and a few good overtakes on a track where it’s really hard to do so. Tomorrow’s encounter will be decided in the opening seconds, as a good start could help us a lot.”

10th – ALEX MARQUEZ #73

“It wasn’t an easy race, but I must say it was a positive Saturday in which we were able to turn the weekend around a bit thanks to entering Q2 and doing a good qualifying. I made a few mistakes at the beginning of the race, but the pace is not too bad and I think we can battle for the top ten tomorrow.”
