Ducati boss Davide Tardozzi has confirmed the cause of Marc Marquez's turn-four crash, which brought his Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas to a premature end. The Spanish rider managed to get back on the bike straight away but the damage was too great to continue with the race. While speaking to the media following the race, Tardozzi explained: “Yeah, he said sorry to the team.
But he cut a bit too much the corner and he touched the apex and it was a bit wet.” Marquez, who lost the championship lead to his brother, Alex, after his retirement at the iconic Austin track, owned up to his mistake. He commented: “We did the most difficult thing in the easiest moment of the race, when I was controlling the distance, I cut a bit too much that kerb in Turn 5 and I lost the front.
It was completely my mistake. “Sorry to the team, I can say only this. “Positive for us - because I always try to find the positive - is like we are equal in the championship, one point behind Alex, so we restart the championship.

So, just I cut it too much - I was too optimistic. “I was fully concentrated, I was not with extra confidence, I was just riding, taking care about the hard brake points where you do some mistakes - like at Turn 12.
“But the rest of the track I felt super safe. I cut the kerb too much. “There was the mistake, I lost 25 points, but we need to keep going in the same way, keep the same speed because I feel fast everywhere, so now tomorrow is a new week.
“We will have a good atmosphere in the family, in training, because we are first and second in the championship. “We had that margin that we used in the worst way because we used it in an easy race. But at the moment we were there in the championship.
