Marc Marquez was happy after securing back-to-back MotoGP podiums in the sprint format, but the eight-time world champion wants more at COTA.
But the seven-time winner at the Texan circuit had no answer for Maverick Vinales, who led every lap of the sprint.Finding it hard to match Vinales earlier on in qualifying, Marquez admitted prior to the sprint that his performance was very important.
“But, yesterday was far away and today we were a bit closer. Still we need to understand some things that I tried in FP2 and let’s see if it’s better for the rhythm, for the race pace.Fast forward to the sprint race, and Marquez managed to stay with Vinales initially before a new fastest lap of the race on lap three saw the Aprilia man drop Marquez.
But Marquez resisted that attack and then showed impressive speed to drop Martin who forced his way through on Acosta on the same lap.
