MotoGP, VIDEO – Agostini: “Marquez has to race in Qatar and finish last”

The main theme of the GPOne live broadcast tonight was Marc Marquez’s possible return to the first race in Qatar after testing the Honda RC213V-S in Barcelona today. discussed with Carlo Pernat, live from Qatar, Paolo Scalera and Matteo Aglio, who received a special call during the live broadcast (see above).

Giacomo Agostini was on the other end of the line, he wanted to take part in the discussion and speak on the subject.

Marquez has to race but he has to promise to finish last“Said the 15-time world champion.” MEIt would be a great workout for him if he hadn’t ridden a motorcycle at 300 an hour for a year. He has to train and be happy to finish last. It’s a great workout and he has to do it. His eye is no longer used to it, so it needs to compete, stay calm, and have fun. ”

Ago has never had an injury this bad in his career, but he still manages to get into Marc’s shoes.

“I’ve never stood still for so long,” he said. “But I remember when I was racing in Emilia Romagna there were still no tutors and I was driving 180 an hour in the car and I felt like I was flying. After three days of racing on a bike at 280 an hour, my car odometer would be 240 on Sunday night and I felt like I was riding 160. We drivers have to train our eyes, which decides everything. Marc hasn’t done it for a year. Riding motocross and going to the gym is important, but using the vehicle he’s driving is more important. He has to get it in his head not to want to win, but to drive slowly.

The question is whether Marquez will be able to do that.

If he imagines that and understands that it is right, if he is 100% okay again, he will still win the World Cup. No excuses“Guaranteed Agostini.”There’s no point in risking fourth or fifth. It’s best to finish last and have a great race next time. ”
