The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix just closed its veils and Repsol Honda Team’s Alex Marquez has finished within top ten to achieve his best MotoGP result to date.
The MotoGP rookie topped the warm-up session and continued to show consistency in his performances. Leading his first session in the premier class provided a boost in confidence and confirmation of Alex’s strong pace ahead of the 27-lap Emilia Romagna GP.
There’s little time before Alex and the Repsol Honda Team return to the track for the Catalan GP in Barcelona. The race will take place on September 25 – 27. Stefan Bradl is set to join the Repsol Honda Team again alongside Alex Marquez.
Alex Marquez (Repsol Honda Team)- As It Happened
“Last Sunday, and especially after the test, we managed to make some improvements. We were able to carry these improvements into this weekend and all weekend I have felt very strong. Throughout the weekend we had constant steps. In the race I started well and was aggressive early, which I am happy with. In the first laps, I felt good and I was able to keep Dovi behind me for the race. Three laps from the end I had a big moment which allowed Nakagami to get through. Even with this, I am pleased as I think we certainly had the pace for the top ten. I want to say thanks to the Repsol Honda Team for their hard work, we are coming stronger and now I am looking forward to Catalunya.”
