Marc Marquez: Some pain but bike working well, Nagashima advice Full story 👉 MotoGP JapaneseGP
“Today I only used the aluminium [swingarm]. Tomorrow if it rains we need to decide with the team if we use aluminium or carbon. It’s more about the quantity because we have more carbon. In case of a crash, we have more spare parts.
But while the technical side of Marquez’s day went well, backed up by team-mate Pol Espargaro in seventh, the #93 did suffer some physical issues. "The problem is when the muscles lose power, then you start to stress in a strange way, you start to make strange positions in the shoulder, the bone. You are pushing more the joints."Today I understood to do a full-attack race distance and be consistent will be very difficult. Maybe for the race distance, I'll need to drop a bit the pace to finish in a good way."Meanwhile, Marquez attributed the RCV's strong start to the weekend to the level of grip.
"Especially Pol is struggling a lot with a lack of grip. Like Aragon. When the track has spinning, he is struggling even more. But the answer is this one. The problem is that with this bike, the lap time depends a lot on the rear grip. You cannot do anything with the front. You don’t have the feedback, the information to push with the front tyre.
