The CEO of Dorna, Carmelo Ezpeleta, addressed some topics in an interview he gave during this final weekend of the 2023 season.
‘It was a fun season,’ the official began by saying, before addressing Marc Márquez’s bombastic transfer to Gresini.
‘It is a change that explains his desire to win. Marc is very eager to win, despite having a comfortable position at Honda. He decided to make the change and there are several things to highlight in this transfer. The understanding of Honda towards a person who has been good for them. The good thing is that he spoke about Honda in the way he did and explained that he wants to continue riding and winning everything he can. Ducati is in a very good moment, they have taken advantage of the aerodynamics and have done the same with the suspension systems,’ he emphasized, as quoted by the newspaper AS.
‘It was a beautiful time. All the championships were very nice, for me it is the ideal and the new format worked. On Saturdays, we enjoyed very good races and when they ended, we said, “Tomorrow we will enjoy more.” It is an incredible format. We had more audience at the circuits and TV ratings also increased’, highlighted Ezpeleta, referring to the implementation of sprint races.
