“When I gave the first pinch I didn't get any response, at the second I did, but by then it was already too late”. Marc Marquez in Austin, Texas he suffered his second consecutive fall in the Sunday GPs after the one in Portimao when he collided with Francesco Bagnaia immediately after overtaking the two-time world champion. Yesterday, however, Marquez fell due to a sharp front-end crash in Turn-11.

Marquez preferred to focus on the glass half full, that is, which fell when he was leader of the race and after having made a good step forward in terms of performance over the weekend together with the Gresini team. “My crew chief and I are starting to get to know each other, the data is there, but in the end the pilot's word is what matters most. We are growing, we will see if the positive trend continues in Jerez too”explained Marquez.
Frankie CarchediMarc Marquez's crew chief, expressed on Twitter all his disappointment at the 'forced' crash of the Catalan rider: “I'm sorry for what happened to Marquez today – her words – staying at the top despite this problem was truly incredible.
