Ducati, Marc Marquez retorts to Pecco Bagnaia
Ducati centaur Marc Marquez after his triumphant first weekend riding the factory Ducati in Buriram responded to teammate Pecco Bagnaia, who said the Catalan rider had "played" with others and could have gone even harder. "I decided, since for most of the weekend I had a margin of two or three tenths a lap, to play it safe, to stay calm. Not è that I played, that extra speed allowed me to manage the situation".
"I am very happy to start this new stage, but this weekend è fantastic, è a dream, è something incredible". Marquez doesn’t expect this dominance every week: "I don’t expect to be like this all the time; we have to keep our feet on the ground and be 100 percent focused".
Pecco Bagnaia remains the point of reference: "Last year he won 11 races, today I expected him to be very strong becauseé on Sunday he always gets a little more; but even I was able to have that little bit more".
Marc Marquez praised his brother Alex, second: "Sooner or later he will win a race. It could happen this year because heé is going very fast and will definitely get some wins. And whyé not fight for a World Championship, since he è capable of everything".
