Marc Márquez set the mood, casually, in a press conference where Johann zarco until then held the spotlight with his new official KTM contract. Because in this increasingly turbulent transfer market, we asked him where we were at HRC. In fact, the contract Dani Pedrosa ends. And his response was not lacking in spice….
Marc Márquez is not afraid of competition. On the contrary, he calls for him with his wishes and even to his side. Asked who his teammate could be in 2019, he replied: “ all I want is a strong driver. And I only see two at the moment: Dani Pedrosa and Andrea Dovizioso ».
If the first name mentioned surprised no one, the second knocked some of them off their chairs. Starting at Ducati which is negotiating closely with its leader. With him gone, everything will quickly be depopulated among the reds, what's more for an installation at Honda.
That being said, and notwithstanding the fact that Cal Crutchlow will hardly appreciate being thus erased from the landscape, we must also recognize a good political move. Because this stone thrown into the pond will disrupt its direct rivals, or even destabilize them. All that was missing was that for the men to Gigi Dall'Igna who already have difficulty with Jorge Lorenzo…In any case, the pressure is on Ducati!
