Alex Marquez recites mea culpa and makes an'admission about brother Marc

The first day of free practice in Jerez de la Frontera was undoubtedly full of excitement for Alex Marquez, who, despite two crashes, managed to set the track record in pre-qualifying in 1:35.991, ahead of Pecco Bagnaia and Franco Morbidelli. Speaking to the microphones of “Sky Sport MotoGp“, the Gresini team centaur took stock of his Friday free practice.

“I have a small injury to my arm, but it is a normal thing when you fall at high speed, but it is nothing to worry about. I was fast, however I have to learn from the two crashes and be more calm and precise, because we have the pace on this track. In the end I know why I made a mistake, I wanted to go fast right away” began the Spanish centaur.

“I wanted to apologize to the team by going fast and doing things right. I was very focused, I knew what I had to do and when I got back on the track I was happy that I did what I did after the crash” added team Gresini’s number 73.

The Spanish centurion was the first one to say sorry to the team.

“When we came out of the pits I got behind Marc to understand how he does some corners where he goes very fast. I’m referring to the left-hand ones like four, seven and eight. On five I was faster, I just didn&#8217t calculate the distance well and slipped. It’s always nice to see how my brother rides, who is always very precise and doesn”t make mistakes,

Alex Marquez commented.
