Ducati: Marc Marquez surprises on Pecco Bagnaia
The reaction to Valentino Rossi's harsh attack hasn't come yet, but Marc Marquez knows full well that hostility in Italy toward him remains very strong, even though he now rides a Ducati bike and next year will be Pecco Bagnaia's teammate. On the podium in Misano, the Catalan got a taste of what might happen next season: the booing and protests came thick and fast.
Marc Marquez talked about it in an interview with El Larguero, shrugging: "The booing? There comes a time when they go in one ear and out the other. That is also part of sports and an athlete has to get used to it".
Number 93 è instead focused on Bagnaia: "The fact that Pecco told the fans to stop, però says a lot about him and the person he è. Who will win; between Martin and Bagnaia? È complicated to overbalance, I wouldn't dare put a euro né for the one né for the other. I see them as equal. If we look closely, whoever completes the first round in the lead wins. They are so equal that they cannot overtake each other".
Marquez però expressed a preference, surprising: "I am serious when I say that I would like Pecco to win the World Championship, it would be one more title for the Ducati-Lenovo team with which he will runò next year. È a rider who analyzes a lot, è a worker and has total control of the bike. On the track, in the Ducati box, he has his finger on the pulse of the situation because heé è has been champion for the last two years and è it was he who dictated the pace".
