Ducati, Alvaro Bautista not betting on Marc Marquez

Alvaro Bautista indulged in a lengthy interview with Spanish newspaper ‘La Vanguardia’ in which he also talked about Marc Marquez and his title chances. “Right now the strongest couple is Ducati-Bagnaia. Especially because of Pecco’s experience,” he stressed. “Marc has the potential to become champion again, but it’s not just the physical factor that counts, there are other things. I would be very surprised if he won the championship this year. I wouldn’t bet on him, but not because I don’t believe in him, but because of the mechanical level that there is now: today you appreciate the talent of a rider less than a few years ago. Now Marquez cannot show all his talent. He has to get his rhythm back and settle down psychologically, because it’s been a crazy few years, with a lot of breaks and operations.”

“I would simply tell him to do what he thinks is best for him. In this world you have to be selfish and think about yourself,” he added about the Honda rider’s future.
