"Today we started well but I am struggling a bit more than in Malaysia with my shoulder," said Marquez."As always, Qatar is not an easy circuit for us and we're aiming to be as strong as possible."It was a day to forget for the Marquez family with younger brother Alex, promoted to the Honda MotoGP team this season, down in 21st place from 22 riders."I have been feeling a little sick," said 2019 Moto2 world champion Alex."I had a crash today.
