Next year, Álex Márquez will once again be teammates with his brother, Marc Márquez, in MotoGP. This time, both will be riding for Gresini, after being with Repsol Honda in 2020.
The younger of the Spaniards spoke about his new teammate in a press conference: ‘It will be interesting to see him on the Ducati bike, for sure. I was expecting a faster teammate, but not like that! But it will be funny. I’m really happy for the team, they deserve a lot to have a rider like him. Also for Marc because he deserves to enjoy again on the bike’.
Álex Márquez, who believes it was time for #93 to make a change, stated that he gave his opinion as a brother: ‘I will not say that he didn’t asked me about my opinion, but I gave my opinion as a brother – not as a rider or as a Gresini Ducati rider. More as a brother because I know what he passed since 2020 and he is suffering quite a lot with the situation in Honda now. It’s time to him to make a change, it’s his decision and for me is positive because I will have a really fast teammate, eight-times world champion, and I can learn a lot from that situation’.
