After an edge of your seat end to last weekend's Japanese Grand Prix at the Motegi Circuit, Marc Marquez had a brief stop over in Indonesia where he visited the Astra Honda Factory and gave his support to Cari_Aman Safety Riding Campaign. The Spaniard has now arrived at Phillip Island In Melbourne Australia for the second round of the triple flyaways.
Marquez is very motivated for the Australian Grand Prix on a circuit that is among his favourite tracks and is fresh off of scoring the 100th podium finish of his amazing career, after an exciting battle with Title contender Andrea Dovizioso at Motegi.
Marc has 2 wins here 1ร125 (2010) and 1xMotoGP (2015)โplus 2 podiums and 4 pole positions. With three rounds remaining, the 24-year-old has an 11-point advantage over the Italian Dovizioso in the Championship standings.
"We go to Australia very motivated after Japan, where we scored good points at a track that's normally tough for us, and in quite difficult conditions,โ he said. โI really look forward to this weekend because Phillip Island is an incredible racetrack, one of my favourite.โ
โIt's difficult because it's very physical, with many hard and fast changes in direction, but I enjoy it a lot every year and generally I think it's a better track for us than Motegi. I hope for good weather, and then we'll see. We'll work hard to try and find the best setup and keep fighting hard for this Championship.โ
