Marquez commented on the Yamaha performance in Sepang

SEPANG, KOMPAS.com – The highest podium of the Malaysian GP was successfully held by Marc Marquez of Repsol Honda, who started running in seventh position. Despite everything, the course was not smooth to reach the first place.

The Spaniard had to face two Yamaha riders in the two leading positions, starting with Johann Zarco and Valentino Rossi, who became leaders of the race.

In the end, he managed to overtake Zarco in second place and Rossi had to fall, forcing Marquez to take the lead.

But Marquez felt the Yamaha bike had taken some steps since the Thai GP, which then allowed Vinales to win at Phillip Island and become the strongest of Sepang (Rossi and Zarco), with considerable acceleration.
