MotoGP: between Alex Marquez and Ducati, we want to create strong links... To make Marc fall for it?

It's nothing to say that Alex Marquez seems to be coming back to life since he fled the Honda environment to find himself in the Ducati clan. The former Moto3 World Champion and also Moto2 champion does not miss an opportunity to make it known, through well-placed killer sentences about his two years spent with the RC213V. His first rides in Valencia with the Ducati largely convinced him of his good career choice. Ducati, for its part, knows that it has to deal with Mr. Brother, and does its part in the seduction, the proof...

Because you never know: Marc Marquez clearly indicated that he would choose a winning project at the dawn of his 30th birthday which heralds the last part of his career. However, in terms of results, he still has a way to go to pass Valentino Rossi and really put yourself in the aspiration of Giacomo Agostini. Between an extraordinary salary at Honda and a competitive motorcycle at Ducati, who no longer needs to build golden bridges to attract the big names, the eight-time World Champion will have to make a choice, as said Jorge Lorenzo. And very quickly, because his contract is scheduled to end in 2024. And in MotoGP, it's already tomorrow!

Ducati pulls out all the stops for Alex Marquez

In the meantime, the return together of Valencia tests, in the same car, was an opportunity to talk between the brothers Marquez, Alex's good humor contrasting with Marc's great annoyance. The first had found the Ducati dreamed, and the other was always looking for the Honda of his dreams... Here we are in 2023 and Ducati did not let go of the younger brother by inviting him to his factory. An event thatAlex Marquez relayed on his social network. The pilot thus visited the manufacturer's facilities and discovered how the entire process takes place with regard to the machines MotoGP.

It should be noted that the brother of Marc Marquez has a valid contract only for the 2023 season, with another year of option, where he will be at the controls of a Ducati Desmosedici and will defend the colors of Gresini.

We will recall some of his remarks about his period Honda, like the fact of not having really appreciated his move to LCR after a first season at Repsol. And above all this: “ they only react when Marc is there and when things get complicated. When no one is heard, they sleep. It is reality. At the end of the season, many improvements came, but only when Marc and his team said what they needed. Otherwise, they don't react ". A lethargy which was even noted by the one who is still the test pilot working at HRC, i.e. Stefan Bradl. What if Alex was the precursor of Marc Marquez in Ducati ?
