#lemans2026

Marc about having more events: I had an event yesterday. After Jerez, I was relaxed at home, getting physically ready to face the intense calendar that's coming up, but it's true we have 22 GPs, with very demanding weekends and, logically, what with social media, this and that, there are more events and more commitments and more things that are part of our job, it's the part of our job we struggle with the most. And it's the difficult one to fit in. There's where I stick to the days in my contract, I set a limit for myself and I don't go past it. When I leave my home's front door, the clock is ticking.

About the possibility of rain in Le Mans: I don't like that. If people expect a rider, or if a rider expects rain, for the benefit of that rider, it means that in dry conditions they aren't showing the level to win. Wether it's dry or wet, we will try to get the most out of it. It's true that in Jerez I showed a highl level in the wet, but every circuit is different and options open up for everyone.

And he (Marc) ended by sending a message to the people who still think he's going to be at the front again, even though there are institutions like Jorge Lorenzo who does not see it anymore and give all the favoritism to Bezzecchi: "Well, we'll see. We have to keep trying and I've bounced back from worse. So, I have to keep trying, try to manage different things and from there we'll see. I'm not going to show you the video that Dembélé showed yesterday, but well, we have to keep working in our box to create our base."
