MotoGp, Marc Marquez is adamant about team orders in Ducati

Honda driver categorical about team orders

Honda rider Marc Marquez spoke out on the issue of team orders in Ducati, also returning to Johann Zarco’s failure to attack Pecco Bagnaia during the Thai Grand Prix.

“It is true that Zarco came very, very fast, passed me and then stayed behind Pecco,” the Spaniard said in words reported by Motorsport.com.

“It’s normal. Ducati hasn’t won the world championship since 2007, so it’s normal. There is a ‘Ducati Cup’ in front on many occasions, so they have to take advantage of that. They have the best bike on the grid. All the riders are in front, so they have to use this ‘power’ to win the championship,” the eight-time world champion continued.

“I’m betting on Pecco’s bike. I mean, the Ducati is the Ducati and we can see that it is fast with many riders. But Fabio is Fabio: he is riding very well and his weak point maybe is the rain. But it will be interesting to see how it will end,” Marquez concluded, giving his opinion on the fight for MotoGP.

After hitting a 125 world championship in 2010 and a Moto2 world championship in 2012, Marc Marquez officially debuted in MotoGp in 2013 on a Honda. Already in his first year in the top MotoGP category, he won the championship ahead of Jorge Lorenzo and teammate Daniel Pedrosa. From 2014 to 2019 he wins five more World Championships, not triumphing until 2015, the year in which he serves as the needle in the challenge between Valentino Rossi and Lorenzo.
