Marc Marquez says his constant crashes on the Honda MotoGP bike is 'difficult on the mental side' after retiring from the ItalianGP with an early fall:
Honda has endured a miserable 2023 season on its troubled bike, with a win from LCR’swas forced to withdraw from the weekend after a crash in practice, while Rins has to have surgery on a broken leg he suffered in an incident in the sprint contest.
It marked the third grand prix crash of the season for Marquez, after tumbling out of the French GP while running second and breaking his thumb in a Portugal smash. “But here and Le Mans was the same, we were closer than what we expected. But the problem is we are taking a lot of risks.“It’s difficult on the mental side, but I keep going, I keep pushing and I don’t care about the rest. I just keep going for myself because I know what I can do, I did it in the past and I hope that I can do it in the future.”While crashes have been all too common for Honda riders this year, Marquez admits his Mugello GP exit was unexpected.
“I used the soft [rear] tyre but I didn’t attack at the beginning to keep the tyre [fresh]. I knew that my position was sixth, seventh and I was already [riding] better.
