Marquez putting focus on better setup work for Dutch Grand Prix

The MotoGP World Championship rolls up to the Netherlands this week, embarking on a three-race series on consecutive weekends. The Repsol riders arrive at round seven having taken a victory and three podiums last time out at Silverstone. The 4.542km Assen circuit, known as ‘The Cathedral,’ hosts the only race of the year held on a Saturday.

A winner at Assen for the past two seasons is Marc Márquez. Victorious in 2010 in the 125cc class and again in 2011 in Moto2, the Repsol rider currently leads the standings in the intermediate category by six points from Pol Espargaró. Following a difficult weekend in Great Britain, Márquez is out to regain his good feeling onboard the Suter.

Marc Márquez “Assen is a fast circuit which is similar to Silverstone in certain respects, but I think that it is a better track for me. We will be focusing on finding a good setting, because at the British GP we suffered a bit with that. We will be giving 100% and keeping calm over the weekend, as we may perhaps be facing unstable weather conditions again. Last year I felt very comfortable at the track; we had a wet race and I took the win. This year we have a completely different bike and will have to work hard”.
