JAKARTA - Repsol Honda racer, Marc Marquez, lost the opportunity to maintain his hegemony at the Austin Circuit. Problems with the bike after the start of the American MotoGP made him only finish sixth.

When starting, his RC213V motor didn't go as fast as he wanted. Like there is a barrier that makes Marc Marquez's motorbike go slowly.

Many suspect, Marc Marquez accidentally pressed the pit limiter which made the motor speed not optimal. However, this was denied by the Spaniard.

"We have a technical problem. Honda is investigating it, but they more or less already know (what it is)," said Marquez, as quoted by Crash.

"Since I arrived in the starting position I saw several alarms (warning lights on the dashboard). I tried to start but the bike went crazy and I think this is something big because until the first corner there is no (power) from the bike."

"I even checked, 'did I put a pit limiter?' but no! The alarm remained on throughout the race, but fortunately after the first corner, when the holeshot device was released, the bike worked in a better way."

Marquez said the motorbike had not worked perfectly. According to him, there is still something wrong with the ride.

"But it has worked well. From then on, we started the real race," he said.

After the bike could be driven better, Marc Marquez went crazy. He performed a number of extraordinary maneuvers that led him to finish in sixth position after having slipped to the very back.
