Marc Márquez arrives at the Catalunya GP in 3rd place in the MotoGP World Championship. The Spanish rider is on a very positive streak of races, with very consistent results, which has left him with 89 points in the championship so far. Recently, Aleix Espargaró’s retirement at the end of the season was announced, which will leave Marc Márquez as one of the most experienced riders in the paddock, or perhaps the most experienced.
The Gresini Racing MotoGP rider, in statements, according to Motosan.es, spoke about the retirement of his rival, Aleix Espargaró.
– For me, he was the veteran of the category. I think now it’s my turn to receive this award, but of course I congratulate him on his sporting career, because it has been a sporting career that I would highlight for knowing how to suffer and endure suffering. He was seen at home without bikes, he was seen replacing riders, he was seen developing projects and he was seen winning.
He also added about what he can highlight the most about the work of the Aprilia Racing rider: ‘What to highlight? For me, it is obvious that there have been riders with a lot of talent here, but there is no one as hardworking as him. So, I would like to highlight his work, his involvement, and above all, the fact that he decided to stay at home. He didn’t lack a bike at 35 years old, so congratulations.’
