MotoGP Silverstone: Marc Marquez again makes people discuss

Team Ducati Gresini rider Marc Marquez struggled to qualify in Q2 of the MotoGP British Grand Prix qualifying session at Silverstone: the eight-time world champion had to exploit the wake of the fastest riders, as he already did at Honda. Marquez è thus put himself è behind Jorge Martin, and è managed to pull it off by a few thousandths: "This è the è the only good thing, because perhaps è it was one of the worst Fridays".

"Other times I was out of Q1, but I had a good feeling with the bike. Today from the first lap of FP1 I was going backwards and struggling with the bike. We fought back and narrowly saved ourselves, but for Saturday we have a lot of work ahead". 

Marquez was controversial for taking the slipstream to Jorge Martin: "I think it is one of the first slipstreams I take this year’s. So far I have always gone alone, trying to do my best, but today I had a difficult day. So, è allowed to make a living. I came out of the box with Aleix, but he didn’t want to pull and neither did I. Martin caught up with us, so I followed the fastest and he helped me a bit’. But he was going too fast, at the end of the lap I already had no more slipstream".

Jorge Martin did not want to fuel controversy, but he did not hide a bit of annoyance: "It's clear that you would rather be alone. But I can’t control who follows me, so I pushed and I still put myself in the lead. That gives me additional confidence. Obviously, if you are fast you don&#39t want to give him the wheel, because he cané overtake you and even get you out of Q2 in some cases", are the words reported by motosan.
