Ducati, Alex Marquez has no doubts about brother Marc: "He hasn’t lost the magic"
During a business event organized by "Estrella Galicia", Team Gresini centaur Alex Marquez, among other topics discussed, highlighted what will be the main objectives to be pursued ahead of next season. In addition, the Spaniard also è dwelt on his brother Marc, who from 2024 will share the same box as him. The number 73, moreover, è wanted to unbalance himself regarding the performance that his older brother might have riding the new bike.
"It's my second year with this team and we have to continue the evolution. We ended the season well and now we have to start the next one in the right way, trying to be more solid. Winning races and getting on the podium are our goals. Last year we had several ups and downs, but we never stopped pushing. Hopefully we can find more continuity this year" began the Spanish centaur of the Gresini team.
"It's a very different situation than in 2020, because at that time I was a rookie and Marc was fighting for the championship. This year he can benefit more from having someone like him as a teammate, who è is fast and has a lot of experience in the category. When a team has two strong riders and shares information it can help to enable both of them to do very well" continued #73.
"From Marc you can expect anything. He has not lost the magic. He asked me a thousand times if he will do well with Ducati. He still has the level of 2019, you can see when he trains. There will be difficult moments when he will have to suffer, but if there'é someone who knows how to suffer that'è him. If there's an opportunity to fight with him for victory I hope to beat him and come first" added the younger of the brothers towards the elder.
"Data sharing è an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time. You can have a lot of information, but you can also get confused. My tactic è to always use the same two references. Pecco and Martin are the ones I have followed most closely this season. Everyone has a different riding style, and you have to take that into consideration" Alex Marquez commented.
