Marc Márquez was years ago in an era of MotoGP with some of the best riders the category has ever seen, and fought intense battles and rivalries with many. Today he’s still on the track and now he’s back with a factory team, and looking at the current generation compared to the one he experienced in his early days in the category, he has no doubt that they’re ‘friendlier’ now.
An example of this is the fight that pitted Jorge Martín against Pecco Bagnaia, in a relationship that was always very respectful, and Márquez, who was present at the Campioni in Festa event, was asked about the difference between the generations, giving this answer:
– The riders now are friendlier! It seems like yesterday that I arrived here, at the age of 20, young and inexperienced. Now I’m one of the most experienced, and I like it a lot.
The level, he still makes clear, is very high: ‘Everyone has their own career and their own history, but all the youngsters come to MotoGP with a lot of drive, and we work to be ready to fight with them, who go very fast’.
