In the tumult of the MotoGP rider market for the 2025 season, Alex Marquez suggests potential prospects for his future. With the younger Marquez brother's current contract with Gresini expiring this year, transfer rumors haven't really concerned him so far. However, his recent statement read on crash.net intrigues and suggests that previously unknown options could significantly shape its future.
« I want to stay with the same bike, that's clear, but there are some interesting options that could change everything if they come to fruition, " found Alex Marquez. " It's the drivers' market, a ladder where everyone finds their place. You have to observe who is positioned at the top, because this triggers a domino effect."
This statement is not confirmation that his stay with Gresini is secure. It can also be interpreted as an allusion to his current equipment or his status within the team, especially considering his brother's situation, Marc Marquez, within Ducati. If Marc gets a factory handlebar for 2025 or a latest generation bike elsewhere, that could readjust the targets for Alex.
Alex Marquez: “ on the track, you have to put that aside, otherwise, it's your fault »
Alex shared his strategy for the market: “ ideas just come to me. I make my predictions, sometimes while chatting on the couch with Jaime Martinez. 'And how do you see this option?' Then he gets to work. You give him ideas."
He also talked about how he deals with constant rumors about driver moves. “ If you are in a good situation, you can take advantage of the market. If it's complicated, you suffer. Look at the situations of Martin, Bastianini, Marc…."
He concludes : " when I'm at the Grand Prix, I don't want to know anything. I talk before the race weekend: 'I want this, this or that.' Then we discuss again on Monday. But the pressure is still there, the desire to do well to secure better options, as in any profession."
The next few months will be crucial for Alex Marquez as he navigates the tumultuous MotoGP rider market, with the hope of securing a place that could not only influence his career but also his performance on the track.
