It's no secret that Marc Marquez is struggling on the Honda. He has crashed 27 times so far this season, matching his record for a single campaign.
His results have been poor, with his only grand prix podium coming in the wet at Motegi. That tally is only narrowly bettered by his sprint haul, having twice visited the rostrum on Saturdays - in Portugal, before things went awry in the grand prix, and the Indian event dictated by Michelin's stiffer rear tyre carcass for heat dispensation.
