Marc Márquez grabbed the Sprint race victory at Mugello despite facing problems right from the start. The Spanish rider mixed up the launch control system when the race began. He pressed the wrong buttons and had trouble getting away cleanly from his pole position. Márquez felt confused about the messages and had to fix his mistake quickly. The delay at the start made his win even more impressive.
Márquez said he felt surprised about taking pole position earlier and winning the short race. He admitted making errors with the launch control but recovered well during the race. The Ducati rider expressed happiness about how his bike performed once he got going. He wants to focus on tomorrow's main race and avoid losing championship points. Understanding the rear tire will be key for Sunday's longer distance.
The Spanish star explained how his riding approach changed from Friday practice. Yesterday he tried to keep corner speed and flow around the track smoothly. Today he went back to his natural style of hard braking and late turning. Márquez prefers this method because it suits his strengths better. The different approach helped him find the pace needed to win at the Italian circuit.
