Repsol YPF

The young Repsol rider will go to the first date of the seaon as favourite, not only to win the race but to win the World 125cc Championship as well. It will be a tough battle, with the first round this weekend under the floodlights of Losail. But a challenge that Marc Márquez is looking forward to.

Marc Márquez: “I can't wait for the world championship to start because up until now we've done a good job, but you don't score points in the pre-season and what really matters starts this weekend. We've had some very complete tests, well-planned, so we go there eager and confident. We've had the chance to try many things, everything that Aki [Ajo], the team manager, had thought of, who has always wanted to try different things, more than anything to get to know my riding style and be able to plan for problems in the future. To tell you the truth, I felt very comfortable with the team and with the machine”.

“I feel confident that I can be in front and hope that I can be in the fight to win races, although we'll see what happens when we get to Qatar because it could be more difficult. Personally, I think I'm prepared to be in the front group but we'll see if we can fight to win. I've only ridden once in Qatar and although it was raining and I was unable do the five laps of the race, the sensations were good. It's a special feeling racing there, because it's the start of the world championship and a night race, so we'll start little by little to pick up the pace with this machine on a new circuit and gradually improve”.
