After the change that shook MotoGP, for everything it meant at the time and for what it could still shake in terms of the rider market in the future, Marc Márquez admitted to being happy with the direction things are taking as he feels at a higher level and where he can fight for the podium.
After three rounds in the MotoGP world championship at the helm of the Desmosedici GP23, with the fourth round of the year happening this weekend, Márquez spoke about the current moment, to TNT Sports and quoted by Motosan, in a situation quite different from what he has been in recent years: ‘I’m enjoying it. It’s not the same to enter a weekend thinking about being among the top 10 or five or fighting for the podium’.
After having spoken about what motivated his team change previously, such as the need to feel competitive and also for mental health reasons, the former world champion seems to already have an answer: ‘The main reason I made this decision was to find out if I was still competitive enough. I gave myself an answer, and it’s yes, I am competitive’.
However, Márquez believes the fight for the title is not yet a reality, as he himself had already said before, preferring for now to “settle” for the fight for the top five: ‘Obviously, one thing is to be even more competitive to fight for the title. At the moment, I can fight for the top five positions with the best and that makes me happy’.
