Marc Márquez started his career at Gresini in MotoGP with a fourth-place finish at the Qatar GP. He was the first among the riders without the latest version of the Ducati and second among the satellite teams, narrowly missing the podium. Jaime Alguersuari believes that the Spaniard will win another title, showing conviction in the six-time champion’s chances.
In the Duralavita podcast, the expert stated: ‘I already have a capirote hat that I will wear. I believe that Márquez will be champion, and I will wear it on the appropriate day’.
On the other hand, Alguersuari revisited 2013 and Márquez’s first title: ‘When Marc Márquez arrived in 2013 and won at the age of 20, people in my editorial office were fans of Valentino Rossi, in Solomoto, with goodwill and from the heart they were fans of Valentino Rossi. And sitting at a table, everyone said that he [Márquez] had been lucky. Age didn’t matter, winning didn’t matter. Six titles aren’t luck’.
In Alguersuari’s view, Márquez also gives credit to the quality of the riders who fought for last year’s title, Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martín: ‘Marc gave the MotoGP its first great gift, which was to believe in the quality of Pecco and Martín. […]. And if he beats them, as I believe he will, he will believe in them even more’.
