Japanese MotoGP: Marc Marquez “arm will fatigue so much” preventing him from winning, says Neil Hodgson
Marౠquez brilliantly went fastest in Qualif📖ying at Motegi on Saturday after a thunderstorm had delayed the session, and even threatened it going ahead.
The six-time MotoGP champion, in just his second race back after a fourth major arm surgery, will start ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder.
But asked if he was ruling Marquez out of winning on Sunday, Hodgson said: “I am. I have had the same injury that he has had, 🔯and so haওs Sylvain Guintoli. We know what it’s like.
“What will happen is - Marquez’s 🐠arm will fatigue so much that he will not be able to keep the pace. So much G-force will go through his body.
“What would Marquez do on a Ducati? Everyone can ride 🥀the Ducati. Imagine🌊 how fast he would be.”
Guintoli disagreed♍ and said about Marquez’s hopes of winning at Mo✨tegi: “I wouldn’t rule him out!
“Unbelievable, the way he was riding, the way he puts everything on the l🐎ine in every single corner. Beautiful!
“After his surgery he looks natur💝al on the bike agai💜n.
“He’s an animal.”
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo, the reigning champion who leads the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2022 MotoGP standings by just 10 points, starts in ninth.
Francesco Bagnaia, who trails Quartararo and is in far hotter form, will b☂e 12th.
“We have got a proper racꦗe on tomorrowꦉ,” Hodgson said.
“I don’t think Marquez can keep the pace. But you’veꦿ got Zarco and Binder on the front row. Binder will fancy his chances.
“168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro on the second row will fancy his chances.
“168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia in 12th? It’s a big ask to work his way through.”
