Alex Marquez shows little enthusiasm about his comeback from the two crashes he experienced before the Spanish Grand Prix.
Alex remained the fastest driver throughout Jerez practise despite experiencing a minority-speed accident in the morning and a serious tumble during early timing of afternoon practise.
The second crash made the Gresini Ducati rider doubt his ability to participate in further session action after he joined his brother Marc through the high-speed Pons right turn.
Most of the session saw him recuperating in his Gresini motorhome while holding his arm that suffered the painful impact against the grass.
The remaining 16 minutes of his qualifying run started as he walked out of the garage.
Alex demonstrated his speed throughout the day by achieving the top time in Free Practise 1 before the crash and leading every sector segment.
According to current standards of this season he remained competitive because he had previously provided his best performance to his relative.
“The main objective was to be in Q2 and we managed that quite well. But I’m not happy about the day. We didn’t do the job and the work that we needed to do.” Alex said.
“Today I was just too confident with the bike. I wasn’t feeling the limit. I was just trying to push it and I didn’t realise the limit was there. I’m angry because it was a mistake to get too confident.” Alex added.
The 27-year-old Spaniard finally admitted to positive outcomes after being questioned about his race.
“Yes, we’ve done records, first places, everything you want in the morning and the afternoon.” Alex said.
“But we haven’t done the work you really have to do on a Friday. So I have a bittersweet taste.
“But we came back in a good way. The best way to say sorry to the team for mistakes is to be fast. So I was just trying to do that.” he added.
