Márquez was putting too much strain on the front and deliberately backed off the pace. That Márquez, mind you. A man who's practically the embodiment of aggression, negotiating with his tires and showing restraint. This is exactly what veteran riding looks like. Where he'd have crashed in his younger days, he now rides it out through calculation. The man's gotten scarier, honestly.

Tire management is genuinely a skill where even pros show a real gap in ability.

I'm curious whether it really was a tire issue, or if there was some other reason behind it.

If backing off the pace ended up winning anyway, it can also just sound like hindsight dressed up as a nice story.

If the tire really was near its limit and not just hindsight talk, then holding back was the right call.

Putting too much load on the front—I'm curious exactly which corner he was pushing hard in.

Márquez, who used to push to the absolute limit constantly, now having a dialogue with his tires is a sign of real growth.

Seeing him gain that self-restraint after a career full of injuries is a change that's reassuring to watch.
