MotoGP, Ricard Jové: "Pecco Bagnaia can't handle Alex Marquez, it makes his head explode"

Ricard Jové is far from unknown in the small world of MotoGP. The Spaniard, a former team principal and consultant, shared his analysis following the Spanish Grand Prix. His strong opinions were shared on the show. Duralavita, the podcast hosted by Jorge Lorenzo on YouTube. He was able to discuss Fabio Quartararo's second place, Marc Marquez's fall, but also and above all Alex Marquez's victory as well as Pecco Bagnaia's unsatisfactory start to the season.

First, he began by paying a vibrant tribute to Alex Marquez, whom he found excellent. « It takes a lot of empathy for what he doesHe has always been considered Marc Marquez's brother, but today he is clearly the second best driver in the championship. Di Giannantonio also has a Desmosedici GP25, and there are six Ducatis. But only one surpasses Alex, This is Marc Marquez » he affirmed. Despite being second overall, Marc has greatly impressed Ricard Jové since the opening round.

 

 

However, he remains on his guard. « In Sprint, Marc is impeccable, he couldn't be more efficient. But he's already crashed twice in five races on Sunday, that's a high percentage. It shows us that we shouldn't fall into the results trap of thinking that when Marc wins, it means he'll win all year. Other things may still happen" he continued.

Precisely, among these other elements, one could legitimately expect a response from Pecco Bagnaia. "What hurts the Italian the most is not Marc, he has already accepted that. Pecco's problem is that since day one he has not been able to contain Alex Marquez.. That's what makes his head explode." he concluded.
