Marc Marquez achieved his first Sunday points of the 2023 season at the Austrian MotoGP but it left some onlookers feeling sad.
Sylvain Guintoli reflected on his first finish of the year: “That’s just how much he’s struggling. The pole lap he did, the front row, and what he did at the start of the season, he was over-riding.“But, so many crashes for him. He just couldn’t go on. He has pressed the reset button.
“He is basically using the races as tests to improve the bike because he knows that he isn’t at the level of the competition.” Marquez was the only rider to use a soft rear tyre, a sign that he was ignoring results to completely prioritise development of Honda’s future bike. He is contracted to remain with Honda for the duration of his deal, until the end of next year, and has claimed that he will stay until then.
