Marc Márquez started his career at Gresini in MotoGP with a fourth place in the Qatar GP. He was the first of the riders without the latest version of Ducati and second of the satellite teams, narrowly missing the podium. Jaime Alguersuari believes that the Spaniard will win another title, showing conviction in the chances of the six-time champion.
In the Duralavita podcast, the expert stated: ‘I already have a capirote hat that I will wear. I believe that Márquez will be champion and I will wear it on the due day‘.
On the other hand, Alguersuari went back to 2013 and Márquez’s first title: ‘When Marc Márquez arrived in 2013 and won at 20 years old, the people in my editorial office were fans of Valentino Rossi, in Solomoto they were fans of Valentino Rossi willingly and wholeheartedly. And sitting at a table, everyone said that he [Márquez] had been lucky. Age didn’t matter, winning didn’t matter. Six titles is not luck‘.
In Alguersuari’s view, Márquez also gives credit to the quality of the riders who fought for last year’s title, Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martín: ‘Marc gave the MotoGP the first great gift, which was believing in the quality of Pecco and Martín. […]. And if he beats them as I believe he will, he will believe in them even more‘.
