JAKARTA - Repsol Honda racer, Marc Marquez, finished sixth in the American MotoGP race, Monday, April 11 in the morning WIB. This result slightly disappointed the Spaniard.

Marc Marquez feels he has the speed to win the race at the Austin Circuit. However, there are technical problems that make him have to bury the dream of continuing hegemony in America.

A technical problem experienced at the start, which is currently being investigated by Honda, caused Marquez to be thrown from the ninth position to the last row on the way to the first corner of the opening lap.

Nevertheless, Marquez showed his class. From the 22nd position, he was able to maneuver to overtake the riders in front of him.

He also scored several times the best laps when trying to catch the front group. In the last seven laps, Marquez still had the pace to overtake Johann Zarco, Fabio Quartararo and Jorge Martin before finishing the race sensationally in sixth position.

"On the one hand I'm disappointed because obviously we had the pace today and I can really enjoy this race, pushing from behind, but 25 points is possible today," Marquez said on the team's official website, as quoted by Antara.

"We had a technical problem at the start, but it resolved itself and the bike worked really well even when I was very last."

He also said, "I went up so many positions and had a great race despite a few mistakes, which is normal when you struggle to restore a position like this."

"We can see the pace is there and we can go from here with a lot of confidence, that's what's important," he added.

This result has made Marquez climb to 13th place in the 2022 MotoGP rider standings. He is now 40 points away from Enea Bastianini, who is back at the top of the standings.
