Marc Marquez explains why he “hates” MotoGP Sprint races
Marc Marquez says that having to control his emotions after a MotoGP Sprint victory makes him “hate🧸” the Satu🐎rday races.

Victory in the Spanish MotoGP Sprint made it five from five to start the season for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez, who says he “hates” the Saturday races.
A fifth successive victory in MotoGP’s half-distance Saturday races was enough for the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ducati Lenovo Team rider to take another record, beating 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin’s previous benchmark of four successive Sprint wins seღt in 2023.
Marqu𒐪ez, aware of the importance of Sunday, said - light-heartedly - that feels some frustration towards the Sprint wins as he has to keep his mentality in-check before the full-distance race.
“Today was not easy, especially with this w🃏arm temperature that changed a lot the feeling, but I already expecteඣd it,” Marquez said in his post-race podium interview.
“I was struggling a bit in the end but I wꦕas controlling.
“I always say the same on Saturday: I hate the Sprint race because I’m super-happy but I want to control my emotions because [Sunday] is the most important day. But, in front of ඣthis crowd, you have this extra power.”
Marquez’s race began with a short-lived battle with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo, who qualified on pole position and led the opening lap. The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Monster Energy Yamaha rider crashed out on the second lap at t✅urn six, though, as Marquez was making his move to the front, and the championship leader’s race was relatively comforta☂ble from there.
“As I did in the other Sprint races, I tried to push in the beginning and [then] control in the second part of the race,” he told Mot𓃲oGP.com.
“When I had that second, second-and-✃a-half, I tried to control that distance 𝓡and it was enough.”
Looking to Sunday’s Grand Prix, Marquez was expecting Quartararo, as well as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia who joined him o♏n the Sprint podium, to be contending again.
“For sure, it looks like Pecco [Fr🐽ancesco Bagnaia] on Sundays is a bit stronger💛, so let’s see,” he said.
“But not only Pecco, also Alex [Marquez], also Fabio [Quartararo], will be super-strong. But Pecco won the last three Sundays here, so I expect a very strong Pecco – let’s see if we can contro🎐l in a good way.”

Alex joined the team in August of 202🔯4 having covered consumer and racing motorcycle news at Visordown for two years.
