Valencia MotoGP: Marc Marquez: I know Fabio Quartararo will push, if he crashes and hits me I will understand

Marc Marquez says he fully understands the situation Fabio Quartararo faces in his battle for the MotoGP title and that any mistake that could lead to contact or worse won't be viewed too harshly from his end.

Of course, no rider wants to make contact, let alone suffer a crash that could takꦛe out another rider, however, Quartararo is facing a must-win situation in Sunday’s race that could lead to potential mistakes.

For the Yamaha rider to win the title he must win and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia be 15th or lower. 

So while a clean race is what Marquez wants, not least becau🥀se he is expected to be a challenger for the win, the eight-time world champion won’t hold grudges if Quartararo was to cause an incident.  

"I know that Fabio tomorrow will push ꧃a lot and he must push," said Marquez. "If he crashes and he hits another rider - if he hits me I will understand [everyone laughs]. I don’t want, but I understand beca♍use he is fighting for a world championship, not a race. 

"I know t𓆉hat he is smart and he must attack. Everybody will attack and Ducati riders will attack more because it’s the best way to help the leader that is Pecco. 

"But I want to do a good race 😼and at the end of the day the two guys are Fabio and Pecco. Everybody will pay attention to these two guys.🧸"

Marquez wasn’t alone in offering his thoughts on the matter, as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller said he would prefer being at the front no matter what after spending parts of the Malaysian MotoGP in a battle with the likes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Darryn Binder, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Cal Crutchlow and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Remy Gardner, which he called ‘chaos'. 

Miller stated: "In my case it can’t be worse than last week. I was back there with Darryn, Cal, Remy and it’s chaos back there. So being where I am now 💃can’t be worse than last week."

As stated above, Marquez appears to have the pace to fight for the win, which has been madeℱ easier by securing second on the grid in qualifying. 

Part of his stunning performance in Q2 was because his physical condition has continued to take steps forward in recent weeks, so much s💯o that he feels ready to go on the 🧸attack. 

"About my physical c🍒ondition I’m very, very happy. The target when I came back was to try and improve my right arm during all the races and I feel a lot [the improvement]💜 when I stay at home for one week.," added Marquez.

"This weekend I’m riding a normal way. It’s true thꦬat sometimes I’m still using a different riding style, not exactly like before, but the lap time is coming. 

"It’s true that with Honda we are also working hard to improve that front feeling. I🍸’m riding fast but I don’t fꦡeel under control every lap. 

"Tomorro🔯w is the time to attack. When you attack and take the risk then sometimes the consequences are not the one you like. But I feel free and with nothing to lose. I will try to maꦏnage well and be on the podium."
