"That was a massive risk for Marc... if it goes wrong on the inside, you get collected!"
The Gresini Ducati rider was forced to start from 13th after a dreadful Friday, and a qualifying where he saved a near-crash.
Laverty assessed how Marquez clambered beyond so many rivals inside the opening laps: “So, he gets a pretty good jump.“He stays on line, leans it around the outside. He’s on the perfect line for Turn 4.”“Where he took a risk was being slightly off line, releasing the brake and carrying the corner speed when everybody gets bunched up, into Turn 3.“If it goes wrong on the inside, you get collected!“It’s one thing saying ‘I have got to take risks’ and it’s another thing to do it.
It meant he started Saturday by entering Q1. Marquez lost the front during qualifying and, although he saved it, it meant beginning from 13th on the starting grid.
