DAZN, welcome to the best part

“The struggle we have had is normal. I liked it. The problem is that two weeks ago I was penalized for a similar story. I prefer these fights, of course. But that they all measure the same. Today the same thing happened but not with the same outcome. It’s always the same story… For the rest, happy. We have had fun fighting for the podiumI think”, said ‘Pecco’ to clarify his complaint after Marc’s movement in the race.

He wasn’t exactly silent. Marc Márquez, who answered before the DAZN microphones. “It’s the hot topic and it’s easy to join. It was a totally logical overtaking. Some overtake on the straight and others have to overtake in the curves“, pointed out the eight-time world champion openly and happy after having been better than he expected in the Sprint Race.
