MotoGP, Thailand: Marc Marquez and Jorge Martin ready to duel with Pecco Bagnaia

Here are the words of Marc Marquez and Jorge Martin, who on the Ducatis of their respective teams set the best times in pre-qualifying for the Grand Prix of hailandia at the Bururam circuit.

"My philosophy è that if you have a chance to win, pass or overtake I try and I will do it here as well: good pace and I feel good, but qualifying will count a lot. In T1 we lose too much and we have to understand why, but I will try to do my best – says Marquez, quoted in Gazzetta dello Sport – The turning point of the season è came in Austria, with a decisive change that made me feel better on the bike.

“Now the difference makes it start well already from Friday: if I can do it, I feel good immediately, but I have a growth of lower performance until Sunday, while before I started slowly and went up a lot between Friday and Sunday – continued the Spanish star of Ducati Gresini -. For the race, the hard tire might be good enough, but we do not know it like the other one and in braking it gives you less feeling".

"I don’t like to touch the bike a lot, but sometimes you have to: I wanted to understand some things and I managed to do well – says Martin, the world leader on his Ducati Pramac -. It will be tough tomorrow becauseé Marquez, Bagnaia and Bastianini are okay, but I am fast. I have been shooting a lot with the hard and it could be an option for the race: the bike è very stable up to 20 laps, but after that it becomes tiring to hold as well for the physical”.
