Marquez Vs Vinales Dimulai di Australia

Marquez mengatakan bahwa dia juga melakukan observasi terhadap motor-motor selain Yamaha. Menurut dia, mengikuti para pebalap Suzuki juga tak kalah menarik.

"Yamaha, seperti tahun lalu, mereka punya motor yang sangat kompetitif. Paketnya, secara keseluruhan, sangat bagus. Akan sulit untuk mengalahkan mereka," ujar Marquez.
