Alex Marquez explains German GP crash: "Maybe I was too confident

Alex Marquez explains German GP crash: “Maybe I was too confident” describes how the Gresini rider took responsibility for his early exit from second place at the German MotoGP Grand Prix. Starting from the second row, Alex Marquez kept pressure on his brother Marc during the opening phase but could not close the gap to make a move. He crashed at Turn 13 after nine laps of 30, tucking the front of his Ducati into the corner before sliding out of the race. Although he described the overall weekend as strong—having qualified on the front row and finished second in the sprint—he said his race rhythm after a collarbone injury still affected him. He suggested the grip was lower and called it a mistake, while also noting that he felt too stiff and put excessive weight on the front in the long left-hander leading to the start/finish straight. Missing three grands prix since the Catalan Grand Prix injury, he said his target is to be back to full fitness after the summer break, with the next round at Silverstone on 9 August.
