\u201cIt\u2019s curious because in MotoGP and Moto2, many times you try to go faster and you actually end up going slower,\u201d Marc Marquez<\/a> replied.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s like the saying: \u2018dress me slowly, I\u2019m in a hurry.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Marquez explained that a race weekend must be carefully planned, building step by step from opening practice.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n \u201cYou must start from FP1, already building the weekend without ever forgetting about the fast lap, because qualifying is very important,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cBut at the same time, you must prepare for the Sprint race and the main race, which require two different riding styles.\u201d<\/p>\n Marquez also emphasised the importance of studying rivals and knowing when victory is out of reach, something he struggled with earlier in his career.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s where you always have to keep an eye on your rivals – what they do better, what they do worse and where they are,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the end, they\u2019re the ones who really tell you whether you have the level to be at the front that weekend, or whether it\u2019s one of those weekends when they say: \u2018this one is ours.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Marc Marquez, Jose Antonio Rueda, Diogo Moreira (Estrella Galicia)<\/p>\n \u201cI love it – instinct, always.\u201d<\/p>\n Marquez then turned the tables by asking Rueda and MotoGP<\/a> rookie Diogo Moreira<\/a> how they approach overtaking late in a race.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen there are five laps to go, are you more the type to think about the last lap, or do you go more by instinct?\u201d Marquez asked.<\/p>\n \u201cIt depends a lot on the situation,\u201d Rueda said. \u201cIf it\u2019s in the early races, I might go with instinct and take a few more risks.\u201d<\/p>\n Reigning Moto2 champion Moreira, who often trains with both Marquez brothers, said instinct usually takes over in a fight for victory.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n \u201cEspecially when you\u2019re fighting to win the race, it\u2019s pure instinct,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve already experienced it in the past and even in training (laughs)\u2026 I hope I can do that in the future.
