Marc Marquez says he is willing to sacrifice a good result in the AustralianGP in order to help Honda's MotoGP development.
The six-time world champion's return last month from a fourth major arm operation is as much about getting himself into shape for 2023 as it is about helping to steer the development of next year's Honda.
With Phillip Island's anticlockwise layout and flowing nature putting less strain through his recovering right shoulder, Marquez has been pegged by many to deliver something strong for Honda this weekend. "Of course, you sacrifice a bit," he said when asked if he was willing to sacrifice a strong race to try the new parts.
