Marc Marquez Says it’s Titles That Matters More to Him than Winning Lots of Races

After achieving a stunning victory in Sunday, June 15, race at the Circuit de Catalunya, Repsol Honda Team’s rider Marc Marquez realized that it was “on the limit,” when saw it over television. The defending Moto GP world champion made this statement after showing some real pace in Monday’s test at Montmelo. The Spaniard also said that when he saw the race on the TV he realized that the machine was moving a lot, but everyone was on the edge. It was really nice moment for the fans, said Marc.

Talking about the fastest rider in the race at Catalunya, Marquez said that according to him Dani Pedrosa, his teammate, was the fastest of all in the last lap. Marc said that when Pedrosa overtook him, he instantly outstripped him in order to prevent him because he knew that Dani was really in a good rhythm, particularly with the used tyres. There is no doubt that Pedrosa was really fast in the last race, as the 28-year old rider made an aggressive assault on his teammate Marquez to snatch the lead from him.

In fact, Pedrosa was so belligerent that in an effort to clinch the lead from Marquez his machine even clipped the rear tyre of Marc’s bike. Yet he was not able to win the race, as Marquez swiftly outshined him and went on to win his seventh straight race in premier class to set a new record. Given that Marc has become the youngest rider to win seven Moto GP races in a single file after Rossi, who made this record in 2002.

The best part about Marc’s triumph is that he achieved it in front of his home crowd and led Honda to its 100th win in MotoGP. With almost each race Marquez is now setting a new record, so what do these recordsreally mean to him?

Answering this question, the reigning world champion said that before every race he gets the information from people about the records, which has become a motivation for him as it signifies that he is on the right track. However, Marquez said that his goal is to win titles rather than lots of races because after several people will only remember how many titles he has won and not the races.

The sensational rider made another new record on this Monday, June 16th when he rode the Honda machine during a test session in Catalunya. Marquez achieved the fastest pace in 1m 41.184s time to break Bradley Smith’s record.

Reflecting on the bile, Marc said that they did not install any new parts in the machine, just made a few changes in the electronics of the bike to improve its fuel consumption and stability while exiting the corners.

Marc said they expected something else from the test, but they got another thing in the end and he also did not achieve it too comfortably, but he gained loads of information for his team.
