Lags behind Lorenzo, Marquez Blame Chassis Honda

BeritaON - Marc Marquez back complaining about a new bike that will be used for MotoGP in 2016, the Honda RCV213V. He called the ability of the bike has not been as expected.

On Thursday, March 3, 2016, Marquez completed the pre-season training session at the Losail Circuit, Qatar. However, his time more than one second slower than last year's MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo.

It makes Marquez actually lost confidence. Because the 2016 MotoGP will be held within the next 14 days.

"I certainly have more confidence when in Phillip Island (Australia). Here, my confidence is gone. Qatar is a difficult circuit throughout the season," he said, quoted from Crash.

The 23-year-old driver explained his difficulties in the face of all the existing bend at the Losail circuit. "We are still far from expected. But luckily, this is all still a test session," said Marquez.

Besides trouble passing the bend, Marquez also said that the chassis of the bike has not been adapted to the conditions at Losail.

"Today I have tested the power of the engine. Tomorrow is the last day of concentration and it must be balanced," he said.
