Jorge Martín and Álex Márquez give more advice to Guevara

If yesterday Maverick Viñales and Joan Mir were the Moto3 champions who gave their blessing to Guevara on the way to the AS title, today Álex Márquez and Jorge Martín, winners of the 2014 and 2018 titles, do so.

Martinator, who has signed the pole in the MotoGP Australian GP, ​​says this to the contender for the Moto3 crown: “It’s almost done and he just needs to finish it off. I saw that he started with a fall and you have to be careful about risking more than you should, but he has a winning mentality and, if he doesn’t take it here, he will take it in the next one”.

And on what he likes about him: “I like the mentality he has. He is always super focused and working alone. He is the leader this year and what the category needed. There are very few who work alone and go out with the intention of escaping. I know he deserves it more than anyone.”

As for the little Márquez, who is a two-time champion with his Moto3 and Moto2 crowns in 2014 and 2019, he likes to look back: “It has rained a little since my Moto3 title and the truth is that it was fun. I suffered, yes, but when you are young you are not so aware of what you are playing for and you live it with more innocence. You get it better than when you’re older. In Moto2 I suffered more, due to the pressure, but in Moto3 it was all a bit rough”.

When comparing the situation of Aspar’s pupil with the one he experienced eight years ago, he says: “His thing is to take it as Guevara is going to take it, but the nice thing is how I took it, winning in Valencia and without knowing what was going to happen until the last lap. It was very nice, although it is much better to close it before”.

Pay attention to the good advice he gives you: “Guevara is a very fast guy. He has shown that he is the one with the most speed this year, the fastest and the most consistent. It is surprising because it is only his second year, something that was noticed in Thailand, because he was very nervous. But that is normal when you are playing a title. Now surely everyone tells him things and what he has to do is to those who have said things to him all year, not those who are now saying what you have to do, even if they are champions. When I played it in Moto2, I told Marc to leave me, because I was on my own and more information than necessary sometimes fills your head and you don’t think about what you have to think about. He has to have balance and close himself in his way to continue being fast”.

And with a view to his jump to the intermediate category, in which he suffered a lot to adapt, another piece of advice: “For Moto2 I advise you to have low expectations. Let him build it little by little, because if you set high expectations you can put pressure on yourself from the beginning and make mistakes. It is a category in which you need confidence to go fast, so low expectations, that he builds them and that the base is solid, not that he only has good days.
