Alex Marquez is the brother of Marc Marquez, in whom he lives in the shadows. He may still be World Champion in Moto2 and Moto3, and be the only one in this case on the MotoGP grid, it is first and foremost through his family relationship that he is identified. With this unfair feeling that he owes his place on a Honda thanks to that. But this also makes him close to the eight-time World Champion who has not been the same since his accident in Jerez in 2020. We see this with his difficult return to competition. And we have confirmation of this from the LCR team driver…
Alex Marquez made some confidences about the Spanish media which were spotted by the site MOW. These are not strictly speaking revelations, but the confirmation of what we fear each time we see Marc Marquez take the handlebars of your Honda in a Grand Prix. If his return to Portimao seemed encouraging and points were also scored in Jerez despite the pitfall of a fall during the meeting, it hasn't been the same since Le Mans. The zero point is at the finish, and Mugello echoed it.
The statements of the eight-time world champion hide nothing of the situation. He was not in good shape at all in Tuscany, he admitted to being in difficulty, to the point of giving the impression of begging for mercy by raising the possibility of a break this season. We wonder if an additional complication has not occurred and if the whole situation is really under control. The feeling that emerges is that something that is not identified is preventing it from improving and becoming again the phenomenon that we knew.
Alex Marquez: “Marc has a problem”
Alex Marquez does not really reassure about the trend by declaring: “ Marc has a problem that prevents him from being one hundred percent. He suffers and the Honda is a very physical bike » declared the LCR-Honda driver. But the younger brother also adds: “ we will certainly see the Marc Márquez of rescues, the one who could do whatever he wanted with the bike, but he will have to be fine. There is no need to panic, he needs to fix a physical problem and he will be back to the way he was before. And for Honda it will be a big help, even if it won't be 100% right away. ". The situation of the world's leading manufacturer in Grand Prix is also very impacted by a situation which presents its RC213V as the worst machine on the field.
