The Honda rider lost confidence after the crash in FP4: “I didn’t find feeling anymore, I also lost strength in my arm and shoulder. My pace is not bad, but not enough to think about victory or the podium. We are struggling under braking, we suffer more on narrow tracks like this one ”

Land Mans – It was another somewhat complicated day for Marc Marquezeven if, in the end, he is always the first Honda rider on the deployment. Even if for a little while.
“In the fp3 I was fast: sure, I was following Quartararobut the speed was there. But in fp4, after the fall, I lost some confidenceI have never found the same feelings of the morning. I have a good pace, but not enough to win or to fight for the podium. Unfortunately, in the fall, I have not alone lost feelingbut also strength in the arm and shoulder. For this I had to try to conserve energy for the race “.
“It is a difficult situation: When you try to be as fast as the fastest people here and fall or struggle, you have to admit your limits. The target? I might as well finish ninth or tenth: is not beautifulbut the situation now it’s this one. Honda is working hard, but in the narrower paths we struggle. We suffer a lot under braking, we are trying to understand how to solve the problem, what is the direction to take. But I also have to take a step forward. Today we used two bikes with different settings, but I can’t make the most of the new tires ”.
