Marc Marquez heads to the Australian Grand Prix with many doubts and few certainties about the RC213V’s performance, but that’s not all. The rider admitted that crashing twice at Mandalika was not a positive thing, with sunday’s crash putting harming his confidence.

Now with free practice about to get underway in less than 24 hours, Máaquez admits… he doesn’t know what to expect: ‘This year, coming here, it’s difficult to understand if our level is going to be good or not. On some tracks where we didn’t expect to be fast we ended up being, but in the past we have been here but there are no expectations, I want to go out on the track and try to understand FP1’.

He then explained the source of some suspicion and what motivated it: ‘It’s true that I’ve come from a difficult weekend, which was normal for me but we came from a good start and arrived at a circuit where we had more difficulties and I didn’t accept it and when you don’t accept it you start to fall more than usual. Now I have to take a step back again, recreate that confidence this weekend and see what we can do’.

Still with the last GP in mind, the Repsol Honda rider recalled the previous round and how «heavy» it ended up being for him:

– In Indonesia we started the weekend very well, I arrived motivated, but also because on friday the limit was the grip of the track, and then the track started to get better over the weekend and then we started to suffer more than normal. The grid position was eighth but the pace wasn’t there, we were far behind and the other three Honda cars were last. In the Sprint I crashed on the first lap and then on the main lap I was calmer but I still crashed again, and that crash took a lot of confidence out of me because it was a crash I didn’t understand. I understood the sprint.

He concluded: ‘Well… it’s normal. After the summer break I arrived with a different mentality and then I started to have more confidence and then in Misano, India and Motegi they were good races, good weekends and now again a step back and we’ll try to come back’.
