JAKARTA - Repsol Honda racer, Marc Marquez, admitted that he was not in the right condition to win the race. However, he will think about becoming a champion in the Mandalika MotoGP race which was held in Indonesia.
The Mandalika MotoGP race will be held on March 18-20. The racers, including Marquez, will compete at the Mandalika Circuit located in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara.
Marquez feels that he hasn't really blended in with his RC213V motorcycle. This was felt after the inaugural race at the Losail Circuit, Doha, Qatar, some time ago.
In that race, Marquez finished in fifth position. The achievement was achieved after the race by taking risks.
"When I'm on the plane to go to Indonesia, I will think about winning," Marquez told Marca.
The Spaniard said that his team had already seen the path to be taken to realize the ambition of winning at the Mandalika MotoGP. He admitted it was difficult to determine the direction in the first race.
Marquez likens the first race at the Qatar MotoGP to guessing. This time, Marquez already has a little idea.
"There will be no new chapters, but we will look for the direction to follow. Doing that in the first race, like a blind man," he said.
The Mandalika MotoGP series will start on Friday, March 18, starting with the first free practice session. The new race will be held on Sunday, March 20.
