Marc Márquez has strengthened 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 someone you’d 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 thing happened with Valentino Rossi. If you want to be a champion, you have to compete against the best,’ emphasized 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 answered 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 fully motivated. It won’t be because Márquez just arrived and will crush everyone. Will he fight? Yes. Fans stop you on the street and say that Marc will win next season. Easy, boy, the other riders also race and they are fast too. 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.
