With no rest after the Czech Grand Prix and the one-day post-race test that allowed him to carry out positive work on his RC213V, Marc Marquez moved on to Austria for Sunday’s Grand Prix von Österreich.
The reigning MotoGP World Champion has been on the podium eight times out of ten races this season; most recently the Czech Grand Prix, in which he finished third.
Marc Márquez: “We come from a good test in Brno, where we found several positive things. We’ll try some of them at the Red Bull Ring and see how everything works. Austria is another track where Dovizioso and Lorenzo are strong, but we were also strong there last year so we’ll see if it comes down to the last corner again! We’ll try to be fast from the start of the weekend and then fight up at the front.
Actually, it will be the second time this year for me at the track, after the unbelievable experience we had with the F1 Toro Rosso test run last June!
On the way to the Red Bull Ring, we stopped in Vienna to attend an event dedicated to safe motorcycling riding on the roads, which is something I believe very important. People sometimes forget how vital is to wear the proper gear and not drink before riding, and anytime possible I try and give my inputs about the importance of being fit and lucid before riding”.
