“As you’ve seen in the documentary [Marc Marquez: All In], You must understand when to put pressure. Sometimes you have to do something to get a reaction… and Honda also made demands on me,” he said at the launch of the Honda squad in the middle of this week.
“Sometimes you have to put pressure on as a rider. For example, there was a time to push Honda and now is the time to be patient and work together. We have a very long relationship and we respect each other.” Marc Marquez quoted Crash.
