Marc Marquez, currently the MotoGP World Championship leader, approaches the Argentine Grand Prix after a commanding victory in the season’s opening round. Historically, he has found significant success in Argentina, achieving three wins, yet he has also experienced setbacks, crashing from leading positions in two races. During a MotoGP Press Conference, Marquez remarked on the unpredictable nature of the track, saying, “We will understand during the weekend” when asked about his chances of duplicating his success.
Marquez emphasized the importance of maintaining focus and consistency as he reflects on his performance thus far. He stated, “I know here in Argentina, most of the years I have ridden in a good way, but I have also made some mistakes. Let’s see if we can start in a good way in FP1 because then it will be easier throughout the weekend.”
The Termas de Rio Hondo circuit presents unique challenges, primarily due to its infrequent use, which causes a layer of dust to accumulate during the offseason. This affects grip but allows the track surface to improve as the weekend progresses. Marquez explained, “One of the main characteristics of this GP is that the track changes during the race,” necessitating adjustments in riding style and bike setup to adapt to varying conditions.
Reflecting on his leadership in the standings for the first time in over 90 Grands Prix, Marquez expressed a sense of calm and satisfaction. He remarked, “It feels good. I feel relaxed, comfortable, I feel good with the team, which is super important.” He acknowledged the significance of strong communication within the team and noted, “There are still 21 Rounds to go, so we need to keep going.”
