Even though he is actively out of MotoGP as a rider, Cal Crutchlow remains very attentive to the unfolding action in the category and to the rumors that continue to circulate about the future of Marc Márquez.
Crutchlow, who will be racing in MotoGP this weekend in Japan, spoke about the future of #93 and explained that a potential move to Ducati would have a very strong impact on the championship and be detrimental to the other riders: ‘If Marc were to go… damn, I don’t even know… I’ve always said that if Marc were to go to Ducati the rest might not even show up. I’ve always said this, and for that reason I don’t want him to go, I want him to turn the situation around with Honda but it’s my… well, I don’t really mind. I want to see a good race on TV’.
E acrescentou: ‘O Marc é, ainda acredito, o piloto com o melhor talento e tive também o privilégio de pilotar com ele e estava também a pilotar uma Honda na mesma altura, sei o que ele estava a fazer, percebia-o, mas não o conseguia fazer. Se ele for para a Ducati talvez o campeonato se torne completamente aborrecido […].’
Marc Márquez terá neste momento uma oferta da Gresini Racing em mãos e pode juntar ao seu irmão Álex Márquez na equipa italiana, com Paolo Ciabatti e Davide Tardozzi já a falarem publicamente sobre a ‘oportunidade’ que a equipa de Nadia Padovani tem.
