PHILLIP ISLAND CIRCUIT / PHILLIP ISLAND, AUSTRALIA
MOTOGP I FIM MOTOGP WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
P64
93 MARC MARQUEZ
15TH MOTOGP
"Last year the soft tire brought us the
podium, this year the gamble didn't
pay off," Marc Marquez said. "I was
hoping for a slower race, but straight
away, Martin was pushing hard, and
I knew it would be a very fast race. At
the start, I really enjoyed the 10 or so
laps with Bagnaia and Zarco, as we
were fighting a lot. Then I needed to
change my tactic and just focus on
bringing the bike home as I was suf-
fering more with tire life."
33 BRAD BINDER
4TH MOTOGP
"Really happy with qualifying…and the
first 25 laps of the race," said Brad
Binder. "I felt great but was having a
couple of issues in the faster corners
when the tire performance dropped.
I was able to work out a solution in
the last sector and gained a bit more
pace again. I was chasing [Jorge]
Martin and not really thinking too
much about what was going on be-
hind me, and before I knew it, I went
from second to fifth. Anyway, I think
we had a strong race, even if that was
not the result we wanted."
