MotoGp, Ducati: Marc Marquez brutally honest on home circuit

It is, however, a track not exactly in the ropes of Marquez, as the same leader of the world has been keen to reiterate with brutal sincerity: “I like Montmelo because it is my home track, but I would not like it if it were not – are the words collected by ‘Motorsport.com’ -. If the circuit was on the’other side of the world, it would be the’last one I would go to”.
The official Ducati team rider specified, however, that he appreciates the circuit’s atmosphere and the cheering he gets every year.
