Japanese MotoGP: Marc Marquez “arm will fatigue so much” preventing him from winning, says Neil Hodgson
Marquez brilliantly went fastest in Qualifying at Motegi on Saturday after a thunderstorm had delayed the session, and even threatened it🐓 going ahead.
The six-time MotoGP champion, in just his second race back after a fourth major arm surgery, will start ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder.
But asked if he was ruling Marquez out of winning on Sunday, Hodgson said: “I am. I have had the same injury that he has had, and so 🗹has Sylvain Guintoli. We know what it’s like.
“What will happen is - Marquez’s arm will fatigue so 🐼much that he will not be able to keep the pace. So much G-force will go through his body.
“What woul💟d Marquez do on a Ducati? Everyone can ride the Ducati. Imagine how fast he woul♕d be.”
Guintoli disagreed a🍌nd said about Marquez’s hopes of winning at Motegi: “I wouldn’t 🐭rule him out!
“Unbelievable, the way he was riding, the way he puts e🐻verything on the line in every singജle corner. Beautiful!
“After his surgery he looks natur♏al on the bike again.
“He’s an animal.”
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo, the reigning champion who leads the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2022 MotoGP standings by just 10 points, starts in ninth.
Francesco Bagnaia, who trails Quartararo and is in far🍎 hotter fo🐼rm, will be 12th.
“We have got a proper race on tomorrow,” Hꦬodgson said.
“I don’t think Marquez can keep the pace. But you’ve got Zarco and Binder on ꦛthe front row. Binder will fancy his chances.
“168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro on the second row will fancy his chances.
“168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia in 12th? It’s a big ask to work his way through.”
