Marc Márquez begins the decisive final stage of the MotoGP World Championship in Buriram, where he was third in the preseason test. The Spanish rider reaches the fifteenth round of the World Championship 72 points ahead of his nearest rival in the overall standings, with 125 points still in play.
In February, the Repsol Honda rider completed a positive three-day test at the Thai track, where he finished third.
Marc Márquez: “It will be exciting to race in Thailand for the first time; for sure there will be many fans in the grandstands, which is always a nice feeling. We must remain focused and calm though, as it will be important to manage the weekend well, working in the way that we’re used to doing.
We had a good test in February but we’ll need to recheck every detail starting on Friday morning. Some parts of the circuit are tricky, but the layout in general is nice.
Surely the high humidity and temperature are going to be demanding on the body, but when you get on the bike you just forget those things and simply focus on riding.”
