#hungary2025

izaskun: everything is set for this weekend

marc: (laughing) no, they way you describe it we have to win, no?

izaskun: there's no other way (laughing)

marc: no, no, we'll see, we'll see

I get the feeling that even he [Marc] is blown away by how he's doing and how good things are going. We all know what happens when a rider is in a state of grace, but I mean in terms of the fluidity, in the strategy, in that everything goes perfectly and that I, personally, think even he is amazed. I am amazed for sure, but I could see even on his face when the race finished and he took off his helmet that he was blown away.

How can he [José Luis] tell? He's clear on that, because he knows him [Marc] very well. "You can tell by the smile and also because he does not say anything to the team about the bike. Only that everything is perfect. When do you say that? You can tell from the last lap what time he made."

your first expression has revealed your opinion. how do you sum it all up? I want to go home. really, i want to go home, i want to go train, do my own thing. A weekend to forget.

marc: now comes the most important thing

izaskun: indeed

marc: (laughs) which is tomorrow

izaskun: but for now today, mmm, dani pedrosa said, today has been easy

marc: (laughs) well... i was going very well, i was going very well. from the first lap i felt comfortable, good, braking in place, turning in place, when you have that certain... margin, then everything is easier, the hard part is ehm.. concentrating and staying focused, that's why with five laps to go i pushed the pace a bit again to see how far i could go and how the bike would behave for tomorrow. but im happy that we had a good start. i heard a bike VERY close in the first corner, which jeje, when i hear an engine, a very close engine, i braked hard and went wide even though i didn't need to, but just in case...

marc: jeje... yes, truth is, about (hiss of a beer can opening)-- uy, the little beer, jaja

izaskun: 0.0

marc: 0.0, 0.0... the guys on the beach now..., it's their own responsibility

izaskun: what’s still an area of improvement for tomorrow? where do you think you have the most room to improve to fight for pole?

marc: well, ehmmm... the pole here... I think the pole here will be more of a lottery than race pace... especially because it's a circuit where putting together the perfect lap, it is a bit of a gamble, no? ... like in all tracks, but here there's so much braking and so many slow corners that... if you put together two braking zones, you can gain two tenths straight away. but putting it all together is the hard part, so, we'll try to get on that front row, which is the most important thing, to be well positioned for that first corner, which… ehmm… tomorrow we’ll all have to hold our breath through that first corner... all riders...
