JAKARTA - Repsol Honda racer, Marc Marquez, talked about the competition for the 2022 MotoGP champion. He said Epea Bastian had a chance to turn things around.

Marquez's belief came after seeing Bastianini successfully board the podium in MotoGP Aragon last week.

In addition, he also reflected on the incident that occurred in the Aragon MotoGP. At that time, Fabio Quartararo could not continue the race because he fell on the first lap.

That moment opened up the chance for Bastianini to beat the leader of the standings. The Ducati Gresini rider is now only 48 points from Quartararo in the standings.

"Eea (Bastianini) still has a chance to win the title. And as we can see with Fabio (Quaartaro)'s condition on Sunday, of course it's my fault, but it's a 'race incident'," Marquez said.

However, Marquez did not want the rider to be careless. He also reminded Bastianini that an accident like what happened to Quartararo could also happen to him.

He suggested that the Italian rider maintain vigilance and stay focused on maintaining his fine performance in order to downturn El Marquez from the top of the standings.

"It (the incident) could happen to Fabio, but it can also happen to Francesco Bagnaia or Bastianini, so vigilance also needs to be maintained," said Marquez.
