Marquez’s MotoGP Catalan GP a “drive to survive” on Honda
Marc Marquez made a risky decision to use a soft rear tire for the grand prix at Barcelona and was the top Honda rider, finishing in 13th place. He initially tried to keep pace with the group battling for sixth, but quickly realized he was pushing too hard and decided to “survive” the race. Marquez struggled with tire management and was overtaken by many riders. He attempted to push for a few laps but ultimately decided to finish the race and return to the pits. Despite this, he remained the top Japanese bike rider. Marquez acknowledged that he was far behind the top riders and his goal is to catch up in future races. He also noted that although a good result can be saved in a short race, in a long race distance, the pace is crucial.
