Strong Feeling in Argentina
Franco Morbidelli looked back on the Argentina GP, saying he and his team did an excellent job together. He expressed satisfaction with being able to make up for the delay on Friday and deliver a confident, aggressive performance. Aiming for a similar showing in Austin, he mentioned the speed of both Marc and Alex Márquez, while also expressing high hopes for his own performance. Following the Argentina GP, he visited Brazil on Monday, where he interacted with passionate fans and shared his growing excitement for the upcoming Brazilian GP.
Franco Morbidelli:
“In Argentina, we did a great job together as a team. On Friday, we were behind our rivals, but we kept working in the best way possible and managed to bring that into the race. In the early stages of the race, I was able to attack aggressively, and I had great confidence in the bike, which allowed me to push hard. I want to deliver a similar performance in Austin. Marc is fast here, but I believe Alex will also have strong pace.”
“On Monday, I visited Brazil and got the chance to engage with the fans. Visiting a new circuit was an amazing experience, and I truly think it’s a fantastic track. I’m already looking forward to racing there. There’s a strong passion for sports in Brazil, and motorsports have a deep connection there too. The fans are really enthusiastic. I hope we can have a great race there next year.”
“In my case, I wasn’t able to participate in last year’s Qatar GP, so like Martín, I joined the team after recovering from injury and worked on deepening my understanding with them. It’s a new team, so even if I couldn’t ride, it was important to spend time with them and build that relationship.”
