Marquez Senang dengan Indianapolis Baru

Marquez mencatat waktu dua detik lebih cepat pada sesi ini dibanding sesi pertama, ketika dia hanya berada di urutan lima tercepat. Catatan waktunya adalah 1 menit 32,882 detik.

"Secara keseluruhan, hari ini berjalan dengan baik dan setelah liburan selalu penting untuk kembali mendapatkan kecepatan dan kepercayaan diri di atas motor," kata Marquez.

Pebalap 21 tahun tersebut juga mengatakan bahwa aspal baru yang dipasang di Indianapolis membuat lintasan jadi mulus dan hampir tidak ada tonjolan. Cengkeraman juga lebih baik dibanding tahun lalu.

"Untuk layout, mungkin yang sebelumya lebih cocok untuk kami (Honda), tetapi yang sekarang lebih alami dan menyenangkan," aku pebalap yang memenangi seluruh sembilan seri yang sudah berjalan musim ini.

"Kami juga bisa mencoba ban keras maupun lunak, serta mengumpulkan data yang akan kami kaji ulang untuk perkembangan selanjutnya," imbuhnya.

Marquez dan pebalap lainnya akan turun pada sesi latihan bebas ketiga, Sabtu (9/8/2014) pagi waktu setempat (malam WIB).
