Marc Marquez: 'Argentina MotoGP crash was a shame'

Reigning MotoGP champion Marc Marquez describes his crash at the race in Argentina as a "shame".

Reigning MotoGP champion Marc Marquez is not allowing his crash at the race in Argentina last weekend to dampen his title hopes.

The 22-year-old led the way on his Repsol Honda until the penultimate lap, but his hopes of winning were thwarted when he clipped the Yamaha of Valentino Rossi, who went on to win the race.

"It's a shame what happened because we were having a good race," MotoGP.com quotes Marquez as saying.

"It was interesting because our tyre choice was different from Valentino's as I felt we were not as competitive the harder compound. The strategy was working out well for us, it's just a pity about the last two laps."

The next race in the calendar is on May 3 in Spain.
