MotoGP: Quartararo tops Friday practice in Jerez, Marquez keeps falling

While Marc Marquez’s MotoGP career may be over after too many hits on the head, defending MotoGP champion turned the fastest lap in Friday practice for the Gran Premio Red Bull de España in Jerez, Spain.

Marc Marquez fell twice on the same lap in practice 2 and this is a pattern we have seen with him since his bad accident two years ago.  Unbeatable before that, Marquez has not been the same since.  He finished a lowly 19th on Friday.

“Today, we took a little bit of a risk to try some big things. In the morning I rode with more or less the same bike to start building my pace because the track was not in the best condition. In the afternoon I tried some other things and unfortunately, I crashed on the bike I was feeling good with, and I couldn’t continue, then the second bike was a big change because we were trying some things and I did not feel well on it. We need to improve and close the distance to the front, tomorrow is the day to come back to what we know to take the maximum amount we can before testing again on Monday.”
