Marc Márquez moves to Ducati’s factory team in MotoGP this year, and Óscar Haro believes the eight-time world champion could have had an advantage – even with equal technical conditions as teammate Francesco Bagnaia.
The former LCR Honda director told Motosan.es that Jorge Martín only became champion in 2024 because Márquez did not have the most up-to-date bike, emphasizing the superiority of the #93:
– Under equal conditions, Marc is superior. And Jorge Martín won the World Championship last year because you have to win, you have to be there, and the guy won it because Marc Márquez had a 2023 [bike]. If Marc Márquez had a 2024 bike last year, it would have been flattering.
Haro also highlighted: ‘We forget who Marc Márquez is. And what Marc has done now is perfect homework – getting in sync with Pecco, maintaining a good relationship with him, being cheerful in press conferences, we are all friends… wait until Sunday. It's Marc, he’ll be half a second ahead’.
