Marc Márquez did what was necessary to preserve his incredible invincibility in qualifying at the Sachsenring track. This Sunday, he will try to extend it further in the race, with a ninth success in a row which would echo this ninth successive leading position. But behind the scenes, he is also interested in what is happening in the paddock which, since recently, has been buzzing with the noise of a possible showing by his brother in MotoGP. And, paradoxically, it would not be so simple to succeed in bearing the name of Márquez…  

At least, this affiliation would close the doors of one factory to you: that of Yamaha. The six-time World Champion spoke about Tutomotoriweb on the fate of his younger brother with a view to a career in MotoGP: “ the pilots now seem to arrive very young. But if it doesn't work, what will the teams do? They will have to go back and it will cost them dearly. It seems that Quartararo is going to have a Yamaha. It was an option for my brother Alex, but the Márquez are not well regarded there. So in this case, the situation is a bit special ».

To be clear, Alex Marquez would therefore have presented himself as one of the candidates for Yamaha Petronas and, for non-sporting reasons, he would have been rejected. Given the implication, we imagine a Valentino Rossi influential having vetoed it. The kind of theory already advanced in the case of Johann zarco and which was denied by the Doctor.

Alex Marquez is a Moto3 World Champion, and he has seven victories and 27 podiums in his career. He would be in advanced negotiations to take a Ducati from Avintia next to Tito Rabat, en lieu and in place of Xavier Simeon.
