Marc Marquez almost repeated his brilliant save at Phillip Island from 2019.
This time around, at the same part of the track, he fell to underline a miserable Friday practice which he ended 16th-fastest.“I was very close to a save like 2019. But we couldn’t.“It was what I expected. The moment in Turn 10 didn’t help. We were riding not well.”“Yes, we always agree and follow what Race Direction and the championship want to do,” Marquez said.
"I will compare just to understand, but the lap time is just one tenth . I followed someone, he followed someone else, so it’s not the way to do the lap time. On the race pace, we are similar."
