Marc Márquez lands at the Red Bull Ring in better shape than two weeks ago, when he had to compete at Silverstone still with leg pain the result of the multiple crashes suffered by #93 before the summer break of the championship.
Smiling and wanting to continue improving his Honda, #93 recognized the DAZN microphone this Thursday “to be well” and without discomfort after having been “training these days”, without a doubt a respite for a Márquez who has accumulated too many things this year between injuries and problems with the bike.
“Here I arrive physically well, which in Silverstone was there a bit on the limit”, recognized the one from Cervera. “I was at the Red Bull high performance center, it was already scheduled since the beginning of the year, Have a review every six months, engine check. There you can’t fool anyone, because the numbers don’t lie, if you’ve trained, they go well, if not, you have to train a little more”he commented between laughs.
In addition to that lightning trip to the Red Bull Athlete Performance Center, Marc took advantage of his presence in Austria to attend a live interview for the Servus TV channel, where he assured that KTM is, today, the second best factory at the moment., “and soon it will be the first” said.
Regarding these statements, today Márquez commented to the DAZN microphone that “you have to see reality”, arguing that “KTM has grown a lot in recent years, and right now it is the second best bike on the grid, They are the second in the constructors’ world championship”.
The 30-year-old rider met on the set of Servus TV with the director of KTM Motorsport, Pit Beirer, with whom he always “I have had a good relationship says Marc, dispelling as best he can the rumors about a possible contact with the Austrians: “There is a lot of talk, yes, but it is that… if there is something to hide, you don’t talk about it, but since there is nothing to hide… there has always been a good relationship, but there has been no approach of any kind or to get to something else. In 2025 we’ll see, but at the moment I have a contract next year“.
Returning to the present, Márquez says that he is facing the Austrian MotoGP event “Like Silverstone, I’ll see it, zero expectations. I’m not saying that I’m going to go out and spin, I mean going out on Friday, you find yourself and already in FP1 you see where you can be over the weekend. And not look for more than the account”, warns.

Here at the Red Bull Ring, Marc will test a new fairing that Honda has homologated for the second half of the season, a setup he will focus on from Friday’s first practice session: “Here I am going to test the new aerodynamics, we are going to homologate it. The Japanese engineers have decided to homologate it, we will test it in FP1, hopefully positive things will come out and we can take a small step with this new aerodynamics”concludes #93.
