Alex Marquez falls at the best moment
“For all he suffered after Silverstone, Alex deserved the podium“. Marc Marquez’s words may also be partially dictated by brotherly love, but it is hard to disagree with this opinion. After the very bad crash at Montmeló, #73 worked to come back as soon as possible, knew when to give up when the pain was too much (Brno), got a top-5 (Assen) and then a top-3 (Sachsenring Sprint). Between him and the return to the podium, a mistake in turn 13 that sends him into the gravel after eight laps. A pity for Alex, who will still have time to return at 100% after the summer break. And he is already focusing on Silverstone and Aragón.
The words of Alex Marquez
“I made a small mistake, but still a zero-point mistake“, this is his comment. “Probably I was racing with too much confidence and it went in the worst way“.
“We have to smile and think positive: I never would have dreamed after the Barcelona crash to be so competitive already at Sachsenring and almost compete with my brother on this track“, he added.
“We keep working, even during the summer break, with the idea of returning at 100% physically already at Silverstone, or later at Aragón. They are two tracks I like a lot and we want to show we have come back a bit like we did here in Germany, hopefully with a bit more luck“.
