Since the end of last season MotoGPbetween Marc Márquez and Sling There have been a series of disagreements as a result of the brand’s potential and prospects for 2023.
The one from Cervera, after the ordeal he has been dragging since 2020, wants to win again and wants to do it hand in hand with the Japanese brand.
Well, at the RFME centenary gala, Marc has stopped half measures and has been more than forceful.
“We are the Repsol Honda Team, I am Marc Márquez. We have to face the preseason and the season with the aim of fighting for a title”, assured the ilerdense in a blunt way.
Of course, he wants to keep his feet on the ground: “Then during the races we will see and we’ll be real where we areBut for now we have to try to fight and be prepared as best as possible, thinking about who is going faster and being close to the fastest, this is the number one objective. There is one test left in Portimao and there is still room for improvement.”
“Obviously many people put me among the favorites because of my record, but if you analyze the last two years and how the last year ended, well I’m not among the favorites. But my goal is the same every year. I have to fight for the places in front and then we’ll see if it’s possible or not”, added Marc.
Finally, Márquez highlighted his work in preseason, but above all that of Sling ahead of the start of the World Cup MotoGP: “I said that we had to improve in two aspects, first in the physical part and then on the bike to try to fight for the World Cup, I no longer say win. This winter I have been working hard on my physique. I have been trying to take care of him and pamper him to evolve and we still have a month and a half left for the first race, which is where I want to be 100% physically”
“There has been a structural change within HRC. First you have to make the change and then the fruits are more long-term, but there is a reaction, there are changes. I am excited, I am confident with Honda, with the changes that are being made and with the tests that we have done. There have been little steps, yes, we are still far away, too, but we are closer than four months ago“, settled the eighth world champion.
