Ducati, Marc Marquez reveals: "Tardozzi had told me…"

The series of consecutive victories of Marc Marquez was finally interrupted in Catalonia, where the Ducati centaur was beaten by his brother Alex on his home circuit: “It is never easy to lose, but Alex deserved it today, he was the fastest on Saturday as well. I am proud of Alex, if you decide to work hard sooner or later you get to the top”.

“I have been saying since Austria that sooner or later the day would come when I would find a faster rider than me on the track. It’s happened today and before the race Davide Tardozzi also repeated it to me, he said ‘maybe that day is today’. He asked me to try but today with Alex it was impossible”.

“There are 7 races left, my number one goal is to win the world championship, but with this mentality. Today I could risk it all, but I have to keep my composure and try to manage everything, even in view of 2026. Another Marquez won, if someone had to stop this winning streak, better it was my brother”.
