When he was only 12 years old, Marc Márquez caught the attention of Emilio Alzamora during the Catalan youth motorcycle championships. The relationship lasted about 20 years and also included the presence of Álex Márquez. After the split and a period of distance, the trio found a common ground again and the manager addressed what Marc could do this season in MotoGP.
‘It was a nostalgic stage and above all with great memories. It was a dream come true. As expected, Marc is competitive. Coming from Honda, which was not competitive. In braking, you can still see that he has to adapt to the Desmosedici, but he has already led some practices and will gradually gain confidence. I believe that in Austin there could be a turning point. Can he win? Of course, due to his talent and maturity, he can win in Austin and on all circuits,’ warned the manager in statements quoted by Sport.
‘Marc can be a champion, but it is also true that MotoGP has changed in recent years. There are 42 races, 21 sprints in which all riders go all out. Marc must change his focus. If he can be in the top five in each Grand Prix, he can reach the final races in a position to fight for the title,’ Alzamora added.
After the first two races of this season, Marc Márquez (Gresini Racing/Ducati) is in sixth place with 27 points, in a table led by compatriot Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac Racing/Ducati) with 60 points.
