Jorge Lorenzo bets on Marc Marquez

The words of Jorge Lorenzo

Jorge Lorenzo in an interview with As è returned to talk about Marc Marquez who has now officially said goodbye to Honda to try a new adventure in Ducati and in particular with the satellite team Gresini, with the goal of returning to winning after years of injuries and falls.

"Marquez gave up a lavish contract never seen in MotoGP, but on a show level his move to Ducati è been fantastic. From a sporting point of view, it will not be easy to challenge all the other riders on the team, but if I had to bet on someone to win the World Championship, I would bet right on Marc Marquez. Just see what he did on brother Alex with that bike".

During an interview with the microphones of "Repubblica", Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali, among other topics, instead dwelt on his expectations regarding Marc Marquez's debut on Team Gresini’s Ducati and stressed how much the Spanish centaur’s experience will be able to help the rest of the riders, Pecco Bagnaia included.

"Marc will make us grow further: the other seven of our champions have begun to study the way he rides. Heà will be an example for everyone. We will have more internal competition and the World Championship race will become more complicated for our opponents. This year Martin has learned a lot from Bagnaia and Pecco will do the same with Marquez next season. We are confident that we can raise the level further".
