Marc Marquez ‘super far from the top guys' in a time attack, but ‘went faster at the end’ of his Sprint simulation - when both he and brother Alex were under the victory pace at last November's GP weekend Sprint.
While Marc Marquez’s time attack speed left him only 14th on the day two timesheets at the SepangMarquez was among a handful of riders to try a longer run on Wednesday, including younger brother, Gresini team-mate and last November’s Sepang Sprint winner Alex Marquez.
Marc completed the ten laps with an average lap time of 1m 59.059s, with Alex an average of 1m 58.836s.two very slow laps in the middle of his run were discounted. Honda riders Luca Marini and Takaaki Nakagami could only manage an average of 1m 59.8s. “In the last part of the day, when I had one tyre left to do the time attack, I did the Sprint race , because I feel like it was necessary for me to understand this bike with more laps in a row.
“Still I’m struggling a lot in the time attack - super far from the top guys. This is normal because it’s the most difficult thing for a rider to learn; how to use the new tyre with a new bike.
