After a year of getting back to his best level, the promotion to the official Ducati team came through and Marc Márquez will now be closer than ever to having the necessary tools to become world champion once again, and the rider once again reminded us that this is what he wants, and that to get to where he is he had to ‘renounce’ many things for the sake of continuing in MotoGP.
Asked during Ducati’s Campioni in Fiesta event if regaining the title means mission accomplished, the rider who will wear red alongside Pecco Bagnaia in 2025 replied:
– I gave up eight thousand things to prolong my sporting life, because otherwise I’d leave it. That was the priority, to find that tingling sensation, to talk about a title again, to win again… obviously all the drivers on the grid are trying, and I’m going to try.
However, he made it clear that it’s not a question of ‘failure or success’, since his situation was very bad and now he’s alive again: ‘But for me it wouldn’t be failure or success to get the title or not, for me it’s already success. Having that second youth. It seemed like I was dead and boom, I’ve come back to life. The title would be the icing on the cake’.
