Marc Marquez says he is “angry with myself” for qualifying a lowly 13th at the MotoGP French Grand Prix as he was “not convinced” on the Ducati to be fast.
The eight-time world champion endured a difficult French GP weekend on the Gresini-run Ducati prior to Saturday’s 13-lap sprint. Out of the Q2 places after Friday’s running, Marquez was knocked out of Q1 in qualifying and starts 13th for both races at Le Mans. Despite this, he was able to launch his way up to fifth off the line in Saturday’s 13-lap sprint and went on to finish second having made an improvement with bike set-up. Speaking about his qualifying, Marquez said: “Q1.
But luckily Miller crashed before a few years ago and there was a run-off area but without that run-off area it was a dangerous moment.” On the opening lap of the sprint, Marquez went from 13th to fifth after the first few corners and overtook Aprilia’s Maverick Vinales for fourth at Turn 11. While acknowledging how good his launch of the line was, it was the pace afterwards as he closed down second-placed Marco Bezzecchi before the VR46 rider crashed that made him happiest.
