Marc Márquez finished Practice at the MotoGP British GP in fourth place. The Ducati Lenovo rider even suffered a crash during the session but was among the fastest.
Although he doesn't consider right-hand corners to have been his biggest issue this Friday, the Spaniard admitted that performance isn't yet maximized: 'Today I was struggling more than in Qatar [in right-hand corners]. We understand why, but we are trying to understand how to fix it. I will work on my riding style, the mechanics and the engineers will work to help me. But I’m losing less than in the past. So, for that reason I’m closer to the top guys. But here it becomes a bit like last year - I’m feeling better with the used tyre than with the new'.
Asked whether he believes he might have an advantage with used tyres, Márquez replied: 'I think so. Especially because Yamaha has a lot of corner speed and they can take a lot of advantage of the new tyres'.
On the reasons for Friday’s crash, the #93 explained: 'Here I closed the gas later, I braked later, I went in faster, with more banking and with more front pressure. So, it was like this. In Jerez it was in a completely different corner and I was sucked by the slipstream of two other riders. And here I just braked too late'.
