Repsol Honda rider Marc Marquez is en route to France for round 5 of the MotoGP World Championship after adding another podium finish to his tally when he finished second last time out in Spain.
Marc has now moved up in the standings to third place and is aiming to make the best of the progress he has achieved to date on his RC213V in order to continue at the same level during another quite unpredictable season, which so far has seen three different winners in four races.
The next challenge for the Repsol Honda rider comes this weekend at the historic, stop-and-go Le Mans Circuit, which has recently been resurfaced.
Marquez currently has 2 wins: 1 x Moto2 (2011), and 1 x MGP (2014), plus an additional 2 podiums and 5 pole positions here and he is now aiming to increase the tally even further.
“Le Mans is particular and different from many other layouts of the Championship,” he explained. “It's a really narrow, short track with a lot of stop-and-go corners. To make an example, it's the opposite of the Montmeló circuit [Circuit de Catalunya], but still quite enjoyable.”
“The surface is new and we'll discover it on Friday morning. The grip should be better and that's positive for us riders and also for the fans as it means a better show. We must wait and see how it goes there—this year it's even more difficult to make any predictions. We just have to continue like we've done in the last races, working hard, with the right mentality, because the Championship is once again very close.”
