MotoGP, Misano: Marc Marquez sets goal for Grand Prix

Here are the words to the microphones of Sky Sport of the Spaniard of Ducati Gresini Marc Marquez, who finished fifth in the sprint race in Misano and will start tomorrow from the ninth position of the grid of the Grand Prix of San Marino and Riviera di Rimini.

"We have the speedà but we missed qualifying without finishing the lap that could have taken us to the second row and would have allowed us to change the race, here forò è difficult to overtake, I lost a lot of time. At the end we passed Acosta, but I was faster than him by 3 tenths or half a second. I overtook him, but the’goal was to be closer to the group of Ducatis, which are the ones that are going harder here".

"We are not far off in pace, but starting ninth everything becomes more difficult, the podium tomorrow è possible, but it depends on the 1° lap, especially in turns 1 and 2. Starting 9° è more difficult becauseé if you want to do something more spectacular in turn 1-2 you have to go outside-in. To do inside-outside you are moreù penalized, but starting 9° I have to do soì (becauseé the pitch è on the right side of the track and therefore on the’inside in Turn-1)".

"Also overtaking a KTM è very difficult becauseé they break hard and accelerate well. I think the podium will be&eagrave; difficult, plus we know how’è Bastianini in the second part of the race and he can&eagrave; play for the podium. We will try to make the top-5 and see if we can catch Morbidelli, but he starts too far ahead. For me the rear soft è an’option. I did 28 laps today and it was not bad".
