It must be recognized that the comparison with Bagnaia is legitimate, even if the latter's contract extends until the end of 2026. Alex Marquez, at the start of this year, has scored more points than Pecco has ever done since he joined MotoGP, even when he was crowned as in 2022 and 2023. « Right now, Alex Marquez is one of those who most deserve this handlebarHe has been fighting and struggling for several years. He is having an extraordinary performance and we are very happy for him. » he added.
Jimmy Martinez also spoke about Alex Marquez's title chances while remaining measured. « He has progressed mentally, he is more matureHe has already shown that he adapts every time in the lower categories. It's true that he's a diesel, but a very fast diesel. I always tell Marc that Alex is an ideal candidate for the title this season. Pecco will be there too, but Marc's rival is Alex for now » he concluded.
