Six-time champion Marc Marquez has warned MotoGP 'needs to be careful' not to become like F1. 'The rider is more important than the machine. It's not like Formula 1, which is another extreme, but we are going in that way.'
In recent years MotoGP has seen greater development in aerodynamics and in ride height devices on bikes, which have led to debates on safety and on whether they add any value to the spectacle.
Speaking in an exclusive and wide-ranging interview with Autosport magazine, six-time MotoGP world champion Marquez passed comment on the current competitive order of the series. "The guys at the top are always the fastest guys," the Honda rider said when asked if the current leaders in MotoGP are genuine threats.
"Still the rider is more important than the machine – or this is what I want to believe. But, every time you are depending more on what you have, because if you don't have a [competitive] bike you can't do anything.
