Marc Márquez has spoken After his accident on lap 3 with Miguel Oliveira at the Portuguese GP. The action, in which he also touched Jorge Martín, has led him a double ‘long lap’ penalty for Argentina… and also one possible injury to his right arm.
After the test, the Honda driver admitted his mistake: “I have made a serious mistake, they have penalized And I agree with it.”
“I don’t care about the penalty, just that Oliveira is fine. I made a mistake in turn 4. I blocked the front tire. I was able to avoid Jorge, but not Oliveira. It tastes very bad to me and for I apologized for that,” says in words that pick up on ‘Motorsport’.
It did not help him to avoid the booing of the Portuguese public, and it was not worth it either Jorge Martin. The man from Madrid charged hard against Marc after the action that “ruined” his career.
Marquez explains: “I didn’t even want to get ahead of Martín, but the bike was facing inwards when you released the brakes.”
“You never want this, but when you miss braking you get there very quickly. The front tire may not have been ready. It is my mistake. Spot”, continue.
In addition, he tells what happened in the meeting with Race Direction, when He asked to lower the sanctions.
“There was the sanction of double ‘long lap’. According to the regulations, that is the penalty, but if they say it has to be more, I will accept it,” he says.
