Marc Márquez reflects on Casey Stoner’s legacy and his own journey with Honda – ‘He was a beast’

Marc Márquez experienced two more crashes during the weekend in Indonesia, in both races. With his future now set with Gresini Racing, Márquez is looking forward to the Australian Grand Prix, aiming to enjoy his time on the bike.

After the Indonesian GP, Márquez didn’t appeared to the media, but he later explained to Motosan.es the reason with a hint of humor: ‘There were greater forces at play. In fact, I did all the TV interviews one by one; if I’m upset, I don’t even do the TV interviews. But I had to go to the hotel. I’ll try to make sure it doesn’t happen again, but if there are overriding reasons, I can’t promise anything’.

Regarding his future, Márquez is still uncertain if he’ll be able to ride the Ducati during the Valencia tests. ‘It’s not 100% confirmed, I hope so. For a more relaxed winter, it’s quite important. Or more worrying, depending on how you see it. But there’s this intrigue. For now, my team is working on it’.

He will have a GP23 in the Gresini box, but he might get the latest updates from Ducati: ‘From what I understand, you earn it on the track. If you go faster, you’ll get more; if you go slower, you’ll get less. I’ve signed with Gresini, then it’s up to Gresini… I have to earn it on the track, there’s no other way’.

Joan Mir spoke about the possibility of not competing in Australia due to weather conditions: ‘It has to be assessed on Sunday itself. If there’s water, we use wet tires; if it’s windy, we’ll go slower. And if there’s too much water, and «aquaplaning», then Race Direction will make their decision’.

Márquez explained his mental state in recent weeks: ‘After the summer, my discourse wasn’t understood. I had a plan in my head and followed it. The plan was to take a step back, be 15th or 14th, and if three fell, be 11th. And build confidence. I built it and when I had it, I started to push harder. So, when you push harder, more results come, but also more falls’.

After announcing his departure from Honda, Márquez seems more relaxed: ‘Not happier per se. I’ve always been happy, but with that weight of deciding. Now it’s decided. I’m more relaxed and enjoying the last five races with my team’.

Márquez will only be able to bring Javi Ortiz to the Gresini box: ‘Yes, Javi is coming. Javi is the only one who will come. And thanks to Honda, they’ve made it easy for Javi to come with me, the rest of the team stays. It will be very strange to see them work with another rider. But I think it will be stranger for them. I wish them the best, and hopefully, they have a good rider to fight where they deserve’.

Márquez also remembered Casey Stoner at his home Grand Prix: ‘For me, Stoner is one of the riders I would have liked to, not compete against, but watch on track, follow him to see what he did differently. Everyone said he was a beast. In fact, I could compare his telemetry data in my first year, and indeed, he was a beast. We had a very similar riding style. In fact, my electronic setup was more like Stoner’s than Dani [Pedrosa]’s. Stoner is one of those riders who could have won a lot more. But he had factors that didn’t help him’.
