MotoGP 2016
Round 10
Marquez
scores precious points, Pedrosa improves his speed
Marc Marquez took very
important points with a fifth-place finish in today’s Austrian GP.
At the line, he trailed his main rivals for the title chase,
Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, who ended third and fourth,
respectively, behind the two Ducatisti who topped the podium. Dani
Pedrosa was able to keep a good pace for the entire GP and recovered
from 12th on the grid to seventh at the chequered
flag.
Marc, who was nursing
a bruised shoulder after suffering a heavy crash in yesterday’s FP3,
got a good start and entered the first turn in third but ran wide
and found himself in fifth at the end of the first lap. He closely
trailed the front group for over half the race, controlling Maverick
Viñales behind him, but after a couple of small mistakes, he
progressively lost ground and wisely settled for a top-five
position.
Dani entered the first
corner in 10th and overtook Scott Redding for ninth
before the end of the first lap. He then kept a good rhythm until
the end of the race, not so far from the front riders. Along the
way, he recovered several more positions and improved his feeling
with the bike.
Heading to the next
race in Brno in one week’s time, Marc leads the championship with
181 points, 43 over Lorenzo and 57 ahead of Rossi. Dani is fourth
with 105 points, 33 behind the runner-up position in the
standings. |

“After how yesterday
went, I’m happy with today’s race. My shoulder didn’t hurt at any
time during the race, so no excuses there. I would have taken
fifth position if it were offered to me before starting the race.
I knew the Ducatis and Yamahas were fast, so this was the best
possible outcome and it’s positive that we’ve only lost five
points compared to Lorenzo. Given the difficulties we’ve had, it
was clear that our objective was to think of the fight for the
Championship. I started aggressively, as it was the only way of
trying to fight with the front group, but after making a couple of
mistakes I lost the slipstream and it was very difficult to
recover from that.” |

“We went better in
the race compared to the practice sessions, as we were putting in
similar times to the riders at the front. We had been a little
farther away from them beforehand this weekend, but today we took
a step forward and that’s a positive. Now we must carry on working
to continue to progress at the next race, which will be next
weekend in the Czech Republic.” |
