Marc Marquez has reiterated his disagreement with the possibility of organizing the Valencia Grand Prix in the current circumstances. Faced with the recent floods that have hit the region, the Ducati Gresini rider believes that it is more important to help the victims than to organize a sporting event. Sensitive to Pecco Bagnaia's latest statement on the subject, he takes him at his word and awaits the continuation...

Marc Marquez did not mince his words in his recent statement regarding the catastrophic situation in Valencia, where floods have claimed many lives. In addressing the comments of Pecco Bagnaia on his desire not to run there – which would mean give up his last chance to keep his world title face Jorge Martin – If this would affect the efforts dedicated to relief, the pilot of Gresini Racing expressed a point of view that goes far beyond simple sport.

« These are obviously strong and energetic statements from Pecco. », Declared Marquez.

Marc Marquez takes to the Bagnaia motorcycle: " when you say it, and if it happens, you will have to do it »

He adds : " when you say so, if it happens, you will have to do it. But anyway, other than that, I'm continuing the trend I showed yesterday, obviously referring to the situation that not only the Valencian Community is experiencing, but Spain in general »

The pilot then furthered his analysis by focusing on ethics to maintain the Grand Prix while families are in distress. The Valencian Community is wondering whether or not to do this, or whether to put resources into a circuit. Ethically, this is not correct. For me, the only option, or The only sense it would make to do the Valencia Grand Prix would be, in one way or another, to help these people »

Marc Marquez did not hesitate to criticize the FIM president's remarks, Jorge Viegas, who suggested that the event be held MotoGP would help the region economically. No, for me it is not. Ethically, I don't see it as moral, correct or humane. If there is any human common sense, it is ethically very incorrect to talk about it. »

He concluded forcefully: “ the Championship, to go on the circuits, receives something financially, and that something could go back to those families. » The voice of Marquez resonates clearly: sport must take second place to the pressing needs of those affected.
