Gresini, Marc Marquez keeps his feet on the ground

Marc Marquez’s words after the Sprint Race of the Qatar GP

.

It's started with a Top 5 finish Marc Marquez's adventure with the Ducati of team Gresini. The Spanish centaur, in fact, in the first Sprint Race of the season in Qatar finished in fifth place. At the end of the race, the former Honda rider, to the official channels of the team, commented warmly on his performance.

"I had fun, no doubt. I was able to overtake, I was able to do it in the straights, I was in the top positions and that&#39s where you start having fun and the weekend becomes lighter. I made a mistake when I knew I could do it, and the battle with Diggia lost me some time. It's still early to dream about the podium, better to set more realistic goals. I want more, but now I can&#39t, because I still lack some confidence to go faster. We are where we wanted to be in the top five and tomorrow that will be the goal. There are three or four riders faster than me and then there'è Aleix, who if he goes as strong as today I think he is the favorite to win" these are the words of Marc Marquez.

In addition to Marc, his brother Alex also wanted to analyze his seventh place: "Too bad about Q2 where we could not put together the perfect lap and we were coming from a very good practice. Then in the Sprint we lost time at the beginning mainly because of Di Giannantonio: first the battle with Marc and then his crash made me lose too much ground. Tomorrow we will have to start well and try to administer the tires as best as possible".
