Ducati rider Marc Marquez explained that he wants to focus on the competition necessary for the championship and that the main purpose of sharing his physical condition with the public is to clarify. The Spanish rider stated that constantly answering the same questions drains his energy, and that he now wants to dedicate all his attention to the championship.
Focus Strategy for the Championship
Marc Marquez stated that the main purpose of sharing his photos is to eliminate the question marks related to disability and to focus on the sporting aspect of his MotoGP career. The rider emphasized that sharing his physical condition with the public is necessary for this goal.
“I wanted to be honest. This was my choice. No one is forcing me to continue racing. I do this because I feel entertained and competitive.”
Physical Limits and Competitiveness
Marquez mentioned that in the past, he preferred to keep his physical condition private as much as possible, but this time he took a different approach. One of the main reasons for this change was that questions related to his arm began to affect his concentration during the championship fight. The rider shared that he learned that the best way to stop speculation and rumors in his career is to be honest.
“I told you I was tired of constantly hearing the same question in Aragon. I learned that the best way to stop rumors and speculation in my career is to be honest.”
Furthermore, Marquez stated that he is sharing his current physical condition with the public, revealing the results of the treatment and operations administered by doctors and sharing his own situation.
“I have nothing more to say. I want to focus on what I have and compete for this championship.”
The Importance of Performance and Speed
Marc Marquez clarified his strategy for managing his energy during the championship fight. The rider stressed that constantly answering the same questions drains his energy and that he needs to focus entirely on the track for this competition.
“Answering the same questions all the time drained my energy. If I want to compete for this championship, I need to focus completely on the track. This is my strategy, and now I feel more comfortable.”
Marquez stated that he does not force himself to use a specific setup when determining the motorcycle settings. According to him, what is important is being adaptable to different tracks.
“This is about adapting to the motorcycle. If you try to make an adjustment to ride more easily, you will never get a result. I know how to ride fast, and I try to adapt to every track to do that.”
The Necessity of Working to Win
The rider admitted that he needs to work harder than in the past to remain competitive in MotoGP during this period of his career. Marquez, who pays attention to the high speeds of young riders, said that he needs to put in more effort to achieve victory.
“Young riders are very fast; I need to work harder to win. I need to work harder to achieve victory.”
Marquez, aged 33, stated that continuing to race is entirely his decision and that he still feels competitive despite the physical difficulties.
“Continuing is my decision. No one is putting a knife to my throat. I am still competitive and I am having fun.”
Track Adaptation and Taking Risks
When asked which factor would be decisive in the remaining part of the championship fight, Marquez answered with speed. He stated that more risks must be taken to be the fastest.
“To be the fastest. When you are the fastest, you have a greater chance of winning. But to be the fastest, you need to take more risks.”
The rider observed that some riders focus on consistency while others focus on maximum speed, but that the fastest rider has the advantage in a championship race.
“Right now, some riders seem to focus on consistency, some focus on speed. But if you are the fastest, everything becomes easier.”
Before the Misano Grand Prix, Marquez stated that he is not aiming for a track where he targets 37 points, like Aragon, but that he will give 100% effort. He emphasized that he wants to understand the level of the Aprilia bikes. He recalled that Marco Bezzecchi pushed to the last lap last year, expecting the Aprilia to be strong.
“It is not a track where I aim for 37 points, like Aragon. But I will give 100% effort, and I want to understand the level of the Aprilia bikes. Last year, Marco was very fast and pushed me to the last lap.”
