Marc Marquez responds to Jorge Lorenzo: “Sometimes it’s not enough to be the best”
Three-time champion Lorenzo has mad♚e it clear that he rates compatriot Marquez as the top rider in today’s MotoGP, and believes he would have won a title in the past three years ifꦏ not for injuries.
“With Jorg𓄧e there was a lot of respect, I learned a lot from him,” Marquez res💟ponded to DAZN.
“For me he was a point of reference like 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Dani Pedrosa or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi.
“I was able to co🅘mpete against them and I managed to win against them, but above all to learn, which is the most important thing.
“Sometime𒐪s it is not enough to be the best, but you൲ have to be the most complete, the smartest, the fastest.
“And may the team and the bik🍌e accompany you 🧸in the fight for the world championship."
Lorenzo has also issued a stern warning that Marquez must “𒀰choose between winning the title or making money” - suggesting that Repsol Honda, who reward him with a lucrative contract, can no longer provide him with the machinery to wiౠn the championship.
Marq༒uez has already complained about his 2023 prototype bike but has also defende𝓰d team boss Alberto Puig, as Honda put on a united front after their awful year.
Marquez’s hopes of matching Rossi’s seven premier class titles this year will depend on his own physical 🦹state, and the performance of his bike, neither of which held up to scru𝐆tiny in 2022.
