MotoGP, at Silverstone Marc Marquez is already thinking about the future

The crash at Assen gave Marc Marquez “a real rib fracture, but during the summer break I recovered. Instead, the ankle and right leg are not going as I would like, but there will be time to improve there as well.”

Honda’s Spaniard arrived at Silverstone with his baggage of more or less major physical troubles, but no less fierce. “Honda is working strong, but in Japan they decided to restart the season with the same bike,” he said in the press conference on the eve of the three-day British Grand Prix.

“There is a new aerodynamic package, but it has not been homologated yet. I’m here with the team, to work with a view to the future,” the six-time MotoGP champion continued. The approach to the world championship “has not been correct, this season we are not ready to fight for the title and win races. We need to be more realistic,” he added, “with a different approach and improve all together, team and rider.

The 30-year-old Catalan has contested only three Grands Prix on Sunday this year and has not finished a single one. Will Silverstone be the turning point?
