Honda’s Marc Marquez admits his podium form in the Indian and Japanese Grands Prix won’t continue into the final races of the 2023 MotoGP season.
Marquez scored his first podium since the season-opener in the India sprint when he was third, and was fighting in the rostrum battle in the grand prix at Buddh before crashing out. The stop-and-go nature of Buddh and Motegi worked in favour of the Honda and masked some of its weaknesses. “No. I mean, I would like to say yes,” he said when asked if he could fight at the front in dry conditions going forward. “But India and here [Motegi] is stop-and-go corners, and it’s here where I can take a risk on the braking point, turn and make a massive pick-up to have a good acceleration.“You need to use that edge grip, the traction, and it’s here where we are losing a lot because you cannot do anything because you just spin.
