Marc Marquez: "I took a risk but I can afford it"

Honda centaur Marc Marquez to Sky commented on the difficult Gp d'Australia, closed in 15th place: "I chose the soft to try to stay in the front group, becauseé with the medium I would not have gone beyond the tenth position. When I saw Martin with the soft I took courage, but then I saw that already from’the beginning he was turning very hard and so I imagined that the tire would end soon". 

"In the end è it collapsed, in the last laps it was just destroyed. Last have with this tire I had made it to the podium, but last year the fastest lap I did in 1:30.1 and this year in 1:29.2. È a second faster and this led the tire to wear out", the words of number 93.

The Catalan rider explained that è it was a necessary risk: "I took the risk and è it went wrong, but I think I’m in a position where it’s okay to take risks".
