Marc Marquez stated that during the sprint test at the Dutch TT, he was operating at his limit, noting, “Dirkam at his maximum, I can’t do anything else.” Marquez finished the session in seventh place, a position that moved to sixth following a subsequent penalty assessed to Francesco Bagnaia. Regarding the main race at the historic venue, the current world champion expressed a degree of pessimism. He remarked that the circuit, or dirkam, is inherently challenging, stating, “Dirkam very safe, it doesn’t work any other way.
A lot depends on your intuition at this moment, and that tells me that I can’t go faster. I’m not doing badly, but I’m losing too many points.”
The Dutch TT is renowned for the high degree of risk riders must undertake to achieve strong results. Marquez, who is currently on a successful streak of two consecutive victories, must manage his riding carefully.
His comments reflect the pressure associated with the event, as he indicated that making any mistake would be detrimental to his championship aspirations. His assessment suggests a cautious approach is necessary to secure points while mitigating the inherent dangers of the dirkam layout.
