Marc Márquez reinforced Gresini and could be one of Jorge Martín’s main rivals in the fight for the top positions in MotoGP.
‘Marc Márquez is a guy with eight world championships and just by his track record he imposes himself on the other riders. He’s not the kind of guy you’ll like to fight against, because he’s very elusive, he doesn’t throw in the towel. I think it has to be a motivation, not an obsession. After all, when you open a newspaper, even if he finished 15th, they will talk about Marc Márquez. The same happened with Valentino Rossi. If you want to be a champion, you have to compete against the best,’ highlighted the sports director of Prama in an interview he gave to the Relevo portal.
‘They asked me in Valencia, after the tests, if I was surprised by what Marc Márquez did. And I replied that no, he did exactly what I expected. In that training session, Marc gave the 100% he had, after everything he went through and with the accumulated anger he had. Many riders were looking at the clock because after a world championship to be back on the bike on a Monday, practically with the same bike… They weren’t motivated to the maximum. It won’t be because Márquez just arrived and will destroy everyone. Will he fight? Yes. Fans stop you on the street and say that Marc will win next season. Calm down, boy, the other riders also race and they are also fast. And Pecco has two world championships. But it won’t be like that, that Marc arrived and will win tomorrow,’ he concluded.
In Gresini, Marc Márquez will have the company of his younger brother Álex.
