Marc Marquez crashed at the British GP, but the Honda rider says his new approach is already paying off. The eight-time motorcycle world champion has scored just 2023 points in the first half of the 15 MotoGP season, recording fourteen crashes and missing five out of eight races. The Spaniard took a different approach to racing after the summer break, deciding to put results aside, ride more cautiously, and try to build a better base. Thus, in Saturday's sprint race in Silverstone, he finished in eighteenth place, when he slowed down during the race and joined the other Honda racers, which he then observed and looked for ways to improve the motorcycle. On Sunday, he climbed to tenth place in the first part of the race, then fell after a race incident with Eneo Bastianini,

Marc Marquez was unrecognizable in Saturday's MotoGP sprint race at Silverstone. Instead of riding aggressively, the Spaniard took a different approach and even slowed down during the race to follow the other riders on Hondas. "It's a complicated, rainy day behind us," he said. "I didn't have the right feeling on the bike, so we used the sprint race to learn. When I saw that I was out of the points, I looked for other Hondas and rode with them to follow them and learn. We finished the race, we learned something and above all, I didn't fall." But the eight-time world champion may not be content to just watch and learn in Sunday's race. "Tomorrow the track conditions will be different. We'll see how it goes." Marquez congratulated his brother Alex who won the race. "I would like to congratulate Alex, who is

The Frenchman with Yamaha is definitely considered the favorite even after the end of the summer break for the MotoGP racers. "I'm glad we'll be racing again," he said.

I'm looking forward to the race in Silverstone, where I won last year. This time it will be a little more difficult because of the penalty long round, but to be honest, this only motivates me even more."
