Ducati, Alex Marquez gloats: ‘Already poking Marc Marquez’

New Ducati Gresini team rider: “First very good feelings, with Marc Marquez there will be secrecy”

New Ducati Gresini team rider Alex Marquez in an interview with As commented very positively on his impact with the Borgo Panigale bike: “The sensations are good. On the sixth lap of the Valencia test I lapped in 1’31.8 with the medium rear tire. Doing these times with the Honda was already difficult, getting there with a new bike and after just six laps was something that surprised me.”

On his relationship with his brother Marc Marquez, which has inevitably changed: “Now there will be secrecy, that’s how it works. We both want to win, and we started poking at each other as early as late summer. There have been some clashes, and in the last few races since I signed, I’ve been looking at the situation of Ducati and the riders. It’s a healthy rivalry and there’s some fun.”
