Marc Marquez's admission about Motegi grand prix
Marc Marquez says he was “scared” of the threat Enea Bastianini posed to his MotoGP Japanese Grand Prix podium in a race he described as “boring”.
A mistake from Marquez at Turn 1 on lap 14 heightened the Bastianini threat, though he was able to fend him off by just over half a second to secure the final podium spot. “Then I give up and it was just time to control Bastianini, because he was riding in a very good way and I was a bit scared for those last laps of Bastianini.“I think we were the fastest out there on the lap times.
Coming into the Japan weekend, Marquez had pinpointed qualifying as the area he needed to improve the most having suffered three successive crashes in Q2 sessions between the San Marino and Indonesian GPs.
