The Repsol Honda rider is la📖rgely using the remainder of t💛he 2023 season to develop next year’s bike, but is also rebuilding confidence following a series of crashes and injuries.

An usually low-profile race on Saturday at the Red Bull Ring allowed Marquez to learn more about his machine, even if that i💃nformation was disappointing.

"We have started the race with a setup that we ha🍎d not tried before and that💮 has provided some information,” he told . 

“[Sunday] we will surely take another step in another direction t♛o understand i༒n the warm-up and, if we are not clear, then we will also do the race with that new concept to understand.

"Right now, finishing 10🐻ﷺth or 15th doesn't change much for me.

"I leave motivated because I always leave motivated, but with a motivation to continue buildinꦯg."

Honda tested n♑ew aerody🐼namics on Friday and Saturday in Austria.

"Obviously, if you hit the key,ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ you don't change", Marquez explaine✤d. 

"Then, the rider can focus on drawin🗹g, on riding and on finding the limits on that bike. 

“What I tried to do [on Saturday] is, based on yesterday, try to find t🤡hat limit.

"I saw this morning in Free Practice that the limit of the bike had already been found, more or less, and I told them that it is time to change,♛ to try something for the sprint race. 

“During the sprint rac🐎e I saw that I have reached that limit, because it is time to reach anoꩵther one.

"Yes, we are looking for thinಞgs, but the problem remains the same. 

“Lack of grip, of acceleration... 

“That is where we have to know,🍌 because the power is there, what is missing is to deliver that power to the rear tyre to use it.”

Marquez profited from the massive pi🐲le-up caused by Jorge Martin at Turn 1 of the sprint race. 

He knows that, 𒐪without it𒀰, his 10th-place finish would have been worse.

"At all times 𓆏I am honest: we have seen ourselves benefited by the [incident] of the first corner, I have passed ninth and I ꧑have finished tenth,” he said.

"I was losing ste🐟am during the race. I felt quite good during the first laps. 

“Then 💮the tyre has gone down and we have been sufferi💃ng more.

"I finished the race in 10th position, but♎, speaking clearly, seeing who crashed it was 15th position more or less.”

Marquez begins Sunday's grand pr🦄ix from 18th. He hasn't completed a Sunday race all season yet.
