Despite the fact that between Emilio Alzamora and the Marquez brothers the story has been a frank and historic success, the relationship between the manager and the two drivers, since their childhood, has not resisted erosion. time. Both parties nevertheless had the intelligence to realize this before a crisis put them against the wall. Everything is going well in the best of all possible worlds, everyone is now flying on their own feet. Still, the experience of the former 125 world champion, titled without the slightest victory, is great. Therefore, when he speaks about the new balance of power in MotoGP and its possible consequences, we listen to him…
Emilio Alzamora has chosen a new path in a career that he still wants to pursue in a paddock which is his natural habitat. On GP One, he didn't just give his news. He also analyzed the new situation in MotoGP, which will weigh on the future. An approach that sticks to that of a Davide Brivio which warns of Japanese manufacturers on the ropes, and which could end up wondering if the game is still worth the candle. The Spaniard also spoke about Marc Marquez with a possible scenario from 2024…
Let's first hear his take on the now only two representatives of the Japanese industry at the highest level of track competition, namely Honda et Yamaha : " the regulations have changed, everything is changing. The European manufacturers were better, Ducati in the first place but also Aprilia which, although not having raced very long in MotoGP, brought a new and correct method, both in the box and outside. I think if the Japanese don't change something important soon, it might become difficult for them ».
Emilio Alzamora: “ Marc Marquez is a winner by nature, he is only here to win the world championship«
Here it fully joins the expertise of Davide Brivio, so thatEmilio Alzamora can boast of his last act for the benefit of the Marquez, in this case Alex, placed in the right place at the right time at Gresini for the Ducati… “ I think this is a great opportunity for Alex and he needed it » he said. “ We know that with Honda all the riders have been suffering for years, while that Alex will now have a clearly competitive bike, as was the case for Bastianini this year. He wasn't able to show his full potential and I'm more than sure that this is a great opportunity for him, after having had so many difficulties. Maybe he won't be very fast right away, but little by little he will arrive with his true style ».
And if we talk about Alex, we inevitably come to Marc at some point... Will he take the same path as his younger brother? “ Everything will depend on Honda. If they build a bike to win the world championship, that's fine. Marc is a winner by nature, he is only here to win the world championship. If something doesn't improve after these two years, I think Marc will change his mind ". Which means, at least for the moment, to slip away, at Ducati. But the Borgo Panigale brand no longer needs a phenomenon to win titles and victories… However: “ Ducati did a great job in every way " to analyse Alzamora.
“With Gigi Dall’Igna, they have taken a big step forward from a technical point of view. With Paolo Ciabatti, they did much more. They have a competitive bike, but what is impressive is that they have eight bikes on the track with strong teams, they contract with the riders and they are all young and strong. But I think there will always be an interest in Marc, even if now they don't really need him anymore ". Seizing the opportunity to enlist him means neutralizing a major adversary. Better to have it with you than against you…
