MARCELO MÁRQUEZ, ATTRIBUTES PHYSICAL ISSUES AS CAUSE OF INCIDENTS
MotoGP World Championship competitor Marcelo Márquez stated that physical issues were affecting him following two separate incidents during the Hungarian Grand Prix weekend. The Spanish rider attributed the incidents to his inability to fully reach his peak physical capacity. He explained that he experienced a crash at Turn 7 after falling at Turn 7 in the first practice session and subsequently lost control at Turn 11 and damaged the front of his motorcycle during the afternoon warm-up.
Incident Details and Rider Statements
When asked about the cause of the incidents occurring in the left corners, Márquez stated, “Because that’s where I was resting.” Following statements released after the first crash, it became clear that the underlying issue was a physical inability to fully reach his capacity. The rider emphasized that an error originating from Turn 6 and his body not responding at that moment, followed by oversteering at Turn 7 resulting in the crash. > “The mistake actually originated from Turn 6. The problem started with the change of direction, it was really a demanding first lap, and I wanted to do something but my body didn’t respond.”
During the afternoon practice session, Márquez stated that he attempted to alleviate pressure in the left corners while using more power in the right corners due to an effort to conserve energy. However, it was noted that the motorcycle was not suitable for high-intensity riding and made it difficult to control lap times.
Physical Condition and Plans for the Future
Márquez stated that he felt a greater load on his right arm throughout the weekend and acknowledged the need to control his instincts considering his physical limits. The rider’s plan was simply to set one flying lap, then conserve energy and risk, thinking about tomorrow. Davide and Ducati team members assured Márquez that they were aware of his physical condition, while also highlighting the difficulty he experienced in controlling his instincts when his visor was down. He noted that passionate riding at Mugello was easy, but he found this weekend to be more challenging, as being close to the front group made it difficult to control his instincts. Márquez stated that he would continue to work on overcoming this situation.
Past Performance and Future Goals
Following his recent operation, Márquez returned to the tracks at the Italian Grand Prix last month, securing a victory at Balaton Park. The Hungarian race was notable for the Spanish driver’s placement on the podium following his shoulder injury in late October. However, Márquez reiterated that he had not yet fully reached his physical capacity and would continue his efforts to overcome this issue.
