Marc Marquez is pinning all his hopes on favorable weather conditions for Saturday morning in Mandalika after finishing his second free practice after falling in the eleventh turn only in the overall XNUMXnd place. Given the unfavorable weather forecast - rain is forecast during the third free practice, it may well be that it has already wasted the opportunity for direct placement in the faster qualifying group.

“I fell at the most inopportune moment. But when you drive at the limit this can happen. Today's goal was to secure a place in the faster group, which we failed to do. Now we can only pray that the weather will last even during the third free practice. ”

There is nothing better on the other side of the garage. Pol Espargaro received the introductory training, but in the second, where times fell sharply, he had problems with the front brake. It was this that prevented him from attacking the fast time setup. In the overall ranking, he occupies only the nineteenth place.

“At the end of the second training session, I had huge problems with the front brake. It is a technical failure that sometimes happens. The brake just didn’t grip, so I couldn’t take the opportunity to achieve a fast time. I hope we can solve the problem by tomorrow. We are currently in a difficult situation, because if it rains tomorrow morning, we will be left without a direct place in Q2. ”
