Alex Marquez leaves Austin without a point after two zeroes last weekend. The Spaniard is convinced that he could have achieved much more this weekend, as he felt very competitive.

When he fell, his leg got stuck between the motorcycle, but fortunately he survived the fall without serious injuries. "When I fell, my leg somehow got stuck between the two motorcycles, and then I hit the fence. It wasn't the most pleasant fall.
