About that Marc Marquez press conference:
Originally, Marc Marquez was scheduled to do just a normal media debrief. He is in Jerez to open a Repsol garage, normal sponsor duties, Honda thought it would be good for him to talk to the press.
The Dorna turned it into a press conference, and everyone got very excited. Paddock people speculating about retirement, KTM, etc.
So Honda changed it back to a normal media debrief.
It's going to be pretty dull, standard stuff.
As predicted. Marc Marquez doesn't want to risk racing at Jerez because braking forces could force the pin in his thumb to let go, and that could possibly be career ending.
