GP of the Americas, Marquez impatient: “I arrive at Austin following two good races”

The world championship is heading back to one of those talisman tracks for Marc Marquez, one at which he dominated from 2013 to 2018. Only a mistake in 2019 prevented him from celebrating a seventh consecutive win at COTA, and this year he’s not in ideal shape, but he is well on the way to regaining that old feeling with the Honda.

Marquez: "I always have fun here"

“I am looking forward to Austin and we’re arriving there after two good races”, starts Marquez. “It’s a layout that I like and in the past we have had a lot of success but this year is a little bit different with our situation arriving there. Like always, it’s going to be important to build over the weekend and see where we line up on Sunday morning. No matter what it will be great to return because it’s a round I always enjoy a lot”. He likes the track and it’s hard to not imagine him up in the leading group.

Polyccio is confident

Team-mate Pol Espargaró will also be aiming for a solid weekend: “After a good test I am excited to head to Austin, it’s a fun track to ride and it will be great to see some more MotoGP fans outside of Europe. We found a few things during testing in Misano and Austin will be a good place to try them because it’s a circuit with a lot of variety. I’ve had a few top tens there in the past so hopefully we can build on that base this weekend”.
