Marc Márquez is a pilot who has a very unique and often aggressive style of riding, which has become his trademark over the years, somewhat distinct from the approach Álex Márquez takes on the track.
The younger of the clan spoke about his brother on Antena 3 (Spanish), quoted by Motosan, highlighting precisely the difference between them and even recalling what happened on the track: ‘For him, entering slowly is “entering full throttle”. When he was in Moto2 and Moto3, I used to tell myself, “Enter slowly.” I entered slowly, I lost 0.3s, 0.5s. I entered slowly, but then I didn’t recover,’ with Marc responding with laughter: ‘”Well, then you would exit however you could.”‘
With several years in MotoGP, all of them in the premier category with Honda, Marc saw the Repsol Honda Team as a family, but Álex, who is in his second year with Gresini, recounted a recent episode in the team’s garage that illustrates the friendly atmosphere there: ‘He turned 31, we were in Qatar, and with the team we gave him some anti-wrinkle creams, because after 30 you have to take care of yourself,’ he recalled.
Both Marc and Álex have contracts with Gresini until the end of 2024.
