Tenth but without smiles
The first objective of the Silverstone weekend has been achieved for Marc MárquezThe Spanish champion achieved the tenth fastest time in pre-qualifying, thus earning himself Direct access to tomorrow’s Q2. The good news for the Ducati rider of the Gresini team ends here. The fall in the morning and the difficulties in expressing the best on the GP23 on the fast English track have in fact led the eight-time world champion to say that today was his “worst Friday of the year”.
“Worst Friday of the Year”
“The only thing we can save is the position – the Spanish centaur honestly admitted – because this is probably the worst Friday of the year. There is a lot of work to do to be able to get between fifth and tenth position. We are not looking further ahead. We are almost half a second away from the top and tomorrow we have to find a way to get closer. It’s a shame about the crash, I didn’t feel at my best on the bike”, he concluded.
Alex is struggling too
The black day for the Gresini team was also confirmed by Marc’s brother, Alex Marquez. #73 did not go beyond the 14th position in PR and tomorrow he will have to try to overcome the difficult obstacle of Q1. “This morning we felt good. We tried some changes that worked well in Germany, but there are some unpredictable movements on the bike that we need to work on. It’s a shame about the last lap this afternoon where I was 0.2 before making a mistake. Tomorrow we will have to work, but we expect to be in the top 12 for Q2″.
