Marc Márquez faces a decisive year in his MotoGP career. After four grueling years marked by injuries and a decline in competitiveness from Honda, he moved to Gresini where he will ride a Ducati and aims to return to his best form. However, he is also aware that he has a gradual process ahead, keeping his expectations low.
The #93 stated to El Hormiguero on Antena 3: ‘I had a lot of patience in the pre-season. There were days when I was in 14th, 18th place… patience, without falling. And in the races, we’ll see soon… but I see potential. It’s been four years since 2020, where if I didn’t injure ten things, I didn’t injure anything. I fell a lot, got hurt a lot, had eight operations on my arm… I have to be patient’.
The same patience he showed in testing, Márquez applies to competition and his ambitions, as he stated: ‘People say, ‘he’ll arrive with Ducati and will crush it’. It’s not like that. I haven’t won a race in two years, I can’t face a year thinking about winning the championship. First, I’ll have to accumulate points, a top five, then a podium – gradually’.
