Marc Marquez on his MotoGP title hopes: “Frustration after frustration” unless you’re “realistic”
Six-time premier class champion Marquez is the main talking point ahead of the 2023 season beginning - will his bike’s performance and his comeback from injury allow him🍎 to fight for another title?
"I think it's the first time in many ye𝕴ars that we don't start as favourites,” he told .ꦺ
“We're not even among the three or four favourites for the title, either because of my situation or because of Honda's situation, whiꦏch is notღ going through its best moment either.
"You have to be realistic, at least in the𒆙 first races, 🅠because otherwise you're going to get frustration after frustration."
Since Marquez claimed his most recent championship in 2019 and his horrendous injury struggles have begun, he has watched Joan Mir, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia become first-time champions.
Mir will be Marquez’s teammate at Repsol Honda this year, Quartararo is battling his own bike in the Yamaha garage, while Bagnaia is enjoying the best bike thanks to Ducati but might find resistance from new teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini.
But Marquez knows that ret꧑urning to glory in 2023 could establish him in Mo❀toGP history.
He is one championship away from his nemesis 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi’s tally of seven.
The added complexity of Marqওuez’s injury history,♊ and his return from last summer’s career-threatening surgery, adds a layer of drama to his challenge this year.
