also knew exactly which rider’s data he needed to learn from ahead of this weekend’s second round in Portimao.
“I had a go at the podium. I almost bridged the gap to Martin. But it’s good this way,” Marquez said. “If at the Valencia test they’d told me I would have finished fourth today, I would have signed for it.“We will analyse the data now: Bagnaia finished three seconds ahead of us and he’s the reigning champion. It’s from him we need to learn to further raise the bar.”The next best GP23 rider was Marc's younger brother and team-mate Alex, who finished in sixth, 3.362s adrift of the #93.
“So I don't think it's only the GP24. I have my bike, I have my tools, and when I signed my contract, I already knew what I would have. So the bike is working well and they are riding better than me.
