Being the brother of a phenomenon is not easy. Unless you are a decade apart, which makes you skip a generation and therefore protects you from any parallels. So, we will never think of comparing Valentino Rossi with Luca marini. And first of all because they don't have the same name either! On the other hand, for Alex Marquez, the family bond begins to weigh. While his senior by three years dominated MotoGP, he had an honorable career. Which means in the shadow of a brother who shines in full light.
Worse, for 2019, he would have liked to join the elite, but Marc dissuaded him. Meanwhile, his young teammate and debutant this year in Moto2 Joan mir is already assured of an official position at Suzuki next year, bagnaia will be at Ducati Pramac and Olive tree at Tech3 KTM. So many current opponents that the Spaniard will see board the elite train, while he will remain on the platform.
We almost forget his title acquired in Moto3. And we no longer remember these last falls in Moto2 which almost damaged his chances of crown which we considered high at the start of this campaign.
Public chat speedweek, he explains : " I don't have the ability to take all the risks that my brother Marc has. Sometimes I do it during qualifying. I'm working on that. MotoGP is my dream and the day will come when I find myself fighting against my brother in the last corner. My first victory of the season will also come, even if we are not where we hoped to be. It's tough this year and we have problems when we're halfway through the race ».
He finishes : " my brother told me that I still had time, and that I could stay in Moto2. So I will be patient and learn Moto2 with the Triumph engine. Afterwards, I will certainly have a good offer in MotoGP ».
