MotoGP rookie and championship leader Marc Marquez is expecting a tough weekend at Le Mans and says he is starting from zero with no test experience and no data of his own to work from.
Although the young Repsol Honda man has a good record so far when it comes to learning tracks, he faces an uphill battle against a circuit which is usuall good to Yamaha and the circuit knowledge held by rivals Jorge Lorenzo and Dani Pedrosa.
“We go to Le Mans and again we arrive there starting from zero, as I haven’t done any tests there. I’ll do my best and I’ll try to make the most of the situation. I hope it doesn’t rain so we can prepare the bike on a dry track, this is very important to find the right setup," said Marquez.
"I’m very happy at the moment but we have to keep our feet on the ground as the coming circuits are new for me in MotoGP. A huge part of our success in this first part of the season is down to the help that Honda and the team have given me and it has helped my riding a lot.”
