Márquez returns to scene of flawless record

After finishing a satisfactory Japanese Grand Prix, in which he took pole position and fourth place in the race, Marc Márquez arrives at the Chang International Circuit this weekend, a track where he has won the only two MotoGP races held there to date.

The Repsol Honda Team rider continues to recover from surgery on his right humerus and, little by little, is getting back to race form onboard his Honda RC213V.

Pol Espargaró arrives in Buriram after a positive weekend at Motegi. He improved his performance in Japan, as well as his times in practice and feeling on his bike.

“The aim for the weekend is to put together another complete weekend like in Japan. Of course, I would like to be battling up the front again like in Japan, but I don’t think it’s realistic to set this expectation. It is also not our objective; we are here to build. I have very good memories there from 18 and 19, especially our last visit and I can’t wait to see the Thai fans again.”

“Another weekend to see what we can do. In Japan we were able to find a bit of the speed we had at the start of the year and now we have to repeat this and improve it again in Thailand. On the previous visits we didn’t have the best luck in Thailand but I arrive now on a different machine so we will see what we can achieve this weekend.”
