It was easily the biggest change in the paddock in the last few years that of Marc Marquez moving out from Honda and start a new chapter at Gresini Racing. Michele Masini confess he knew that the team was going to make a great effort towards 2024.
After the tests in Valencia where the oldest of Marquez brothers stood out, the Team Manager of Gresini said: ‘We did a great job and focused on balanced laps. With Marc and Alex we did a different job, but we are happy to finish a nice year like this. Obviously we have a tough 2024 ahead of us, but for sure this is a brilliant start’.
Then didn’t shy away of showing his confidence: ‘When we made the decision to go for Marc, I was convinced that we would build a great team. As I said, I think it has been a brilliant start to this new chapter. Now we will recharge our batteries and then we will prepare in the best possible way for the presentation and the Sepang test in February’.
