Despite finishing his home Catalunya MotoGP Sprint in eleventh place, where he had started, Marc Marquez insisted “it was a very good day for us”.
The reason was that, on two occasions, he had been able to push the struggling Honda above and beyond its capabilities, helping silence his own doubts.
While the other RCVs were tussling with Yamahas at the back of the field, Marquez rose to seventh place. “But these short, single moments are important for my confidence. For myself. More than the result. To show that I'm still there. Because in the end you start to have some doubts even in yourself. If you are very, very far [behind].”
With the Hondas struggling from huge amounts of wheelspin, the only area Marquez feels he can fight is on the brakes.
