Marc Márquez is currently adapting to the Ducati Desmosedici GP23 and also to Gresini, after more than a decade with Repsol Honda in MotoGP. Nevertheless, he is showing himself capable of fighting for the top positions – as seen again in the Portuguese GP, where he battled with Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati) for the top five until a collision between them.
When asked if he feels that some riders have a more aggressive approach and go for it compared to him, #93 denied, and spoke again about the situation with Bagnaia:«
– I don’t believe, or I don’t want to think this. They simply fight. Pecco told me he was thinking about two more points and defending his position. In the first laps you need to be aggressive, in the last laps if you are fighting for the win maybe you can be aggressive. But in this race I think it wasn’t the moment to be like that. But, well, he decided. and surely he will learn.
