Alex Marquez says his switch to the LCR Honda squad for the 2021 MotoGP season won’t be like “starting from zero” as he already knows the team well.<\/h2>\n

The 2019 Moto2 world champion tested for LCR in Valencia last year ahead of his factory team debut in 2020, and will work with ex-Cal Crutchlow crew chief Christophe Bourguignon in 2021.<\/p>\n

Honda made its decision to move Marquez to LCR as a factory-contracted rider before he’d made his MotoGP debut at the Repsol-backed outfit, but Marquez has never felt like the move was hasty.<\/p>\n

After a difficult start to 2020, Marquez came on strong in the second half of the year and scored Honda’s only podiums with a brace of seconds at the French and Aragon Grands Prix.<\/p>\n

When asked if he felt like moving to LCR would be a reset after the progress he made at the factory Honda team, Marquez said: “No, I don’t think I will start from zero. I will have the technician, ‘Beefy’, who has a lot of experience, and everybody in Honda is speaking so good about him.<\/p>\n

“Also, from [the] data [side] coming is David Garcia, my technician in Moto2.<\/p>\n

“So, already I know him really well and he can also help ‘Beefy’, and they can make a good tandem to know me a bit earlier and for ‘Beefy’ I think it will be so positive to have on my side because he knows me really good.<\/p>\n

“I know all the people. I meet them in Portimao, but already from the past I know everybody. Everything looks like it can switch really nice, and I’m looking forward to being in a team where maybe everything is a little bit more calm and the pressure also is more calm.<\/p>\n

“So, I think it can help me to take the experience and keep working like we did in the second part of the season.”<\/p>\n

COVID-19 permitting, the 2021 season is set to consist of 20 races, with Marquez having only ridden at seven of those venues currently slated to host events on a MotoGP bike.<\/p>\n

But, when asked by Motorsport.com if he had to treat 2021 as a second part to his rookie season, Marquez feels the experience he gained this year will be enough to be able to adjust to unfamiliar tracks quickly.<\/p>\n

“This is a little bit strange, because in some tracks that I wasn’t there [before] I was really fast from the beginning, the first run of FP1,” he said.<\/p>\n

“So, it depends on the track, how you switch on at that track and how you manage that situation.<\/p>\n

“But no, it won’t be like a rookie season. Already I have experience and already I know the bike and I know a little bit the secrets how to manage a MotoGP weekend, because it’s so difficult to manage the tyres, how to manage both bikes, you can play with the set-up on both bikes.<\/p>\n

“So, will be interesting to hopefully go to all the tracks to take the experience, but I have experience.<\/p>\n

“I clicked in the second part of the season, so the important thing will be to keep that click and always be in the top eight.”<\/p>\n
