"Yesterday I got the extra rage for today"

Misano.- Márquez opted for the opposite strategy he was following in 2019 and let Fabio Quartararo carry the weight of the race. The French led 24 of the 27 laps, while the Spanish only did one, the last and the one that counts.

Throughout the weekend it had been seen that Yamaha was the strongest motorcycle on this circuit, although Márquez was the only one able to stand up to him. The race followed the same script, with the four Iwata bikes ranked in the top five, but behind the Honda's # 93.

The ilerdense was not able to achieve pole, but already in the morning this Sunday he led the warm up. In the race he was the only one able to follow the pull of Quartararo and dedicated himself to study his rival to give him the ax at the final moment.

Chronicle of the GP of San Marino:

"We won on a track that Yamaha had dominated," he recalls Marquez. "In Silverstone I made the race and won Rins. Today he made the Quartararo race and I won. But Fabio deserved the victory. He has the maturity, character and talent. He is prepared to win races."

The championship leader acknowledged that after losing the last two races in the last lap, there was a plus of motivation. That, and everything that happened on Saturday during Q2 in the encounter he had with Rossi.

Crossing statements:

"There was anger. In the last races, losing in the last corner touches you. I tried it because of the push they gave me yesterday. There was an extra rage, moral, even though the team wanted to keep me calm," he admits .

In addition, Márquez played with the trick that his persecutors in the championship today were not ahead.

"I didn't think about the championship today. If I had distrust that they could beat me, I wouldn't try, but I'm not like that. If I hadn't tried, I wouldn't have slept peacefully."

So the World Cup:

Now, with 93 points ahead of Dovizioso, he will try to leave Aragon with mathematical options of being champion in Thailand. For this he needs to score seven points in the Motorland race.

"The advantage of 93 points is important, and now I can only lose it. I am seven points away from my first match ball. I told the team that it would be best to close it in Motegi, but if it can be earlier, better," ditch
