Marquez looms large on first day at Sepang MotoGP test

MotoGP rookie only 0.044 seconds behind leader Pedrosa after first day of test, and most veteran riders aren’t surprisedSEPANG, MALAYSIA, FEB 5 – Repsol Honda’s Marc Marquez finished the first day of the Sepang MotoGP test only 0.044 seconds behind teammate and pace-setter Dani Pedrosa, but he didn’t think much of it. The self-effacing young Spaniard said he could concentrate on doing fast laps while the more senior riders were testing parts.

“Sure, I’m surprised, but, you know, now I think it’s not the most important,� he said after finishing the first day of the test behind only Pedrosa and Yamaha’s world champion Jorge Lorenzo. “The top rider, especially Dani (Pedrosa), that I know, but sure in Yamaha too, they are testing new parts and they are testing many things and today I just concentrate on the setting of the bike. I didn’t test. From tomorrow maybe I will start to test some things, but we didn’t know yet. But it’s just the first day. I think it’s not important the position.� Others disagreed.
