Ducati, Marc Marquez this time fears Pecco Bagnaia: "I am not favored"

Marc Marquez less confident than usual after Friday’s MotoGP practice: at the Red Bull Ring, a taboo track for him where he has never managed to impose himself, the Catalan rider ended practice with the best time but did not have the best feelings from his bike. The number 93 rider fears Pecco Bagnaia: “He’s the rival on Sunday”.

“He’s been the fastest in terms of pace. He has won here the last three years very convincingly. Again today he started and immediately took the lead. It was his best Friday and he was the fastest in terms of pace, the data confirms it” he told DAZN.

“In terms of pace, from what I saw, he was a tenth ahead of me– continued the’eight-time world champion -. And I am not favored for pole either. The stability control? It makes driving easier, the driver makes less of a difference and everything is more balanced”.
