Marc Marquez, through his track record, his style and his combativeness, becomes an essential character in the Grands Prix. Moreover, he already is, and his aura now extends far beyond his hometown of Cervera. 44 victories in 108 Grands Prix contested in MotoGP in just six years... We are sometimes famous for less than that! An outcome? For someone who claims to be a simple and sociable young man, it would in fact be quite the opposite...
His fame follows his successes, but Marc Marquez would have liked to do without this aspect of his job. On speedweek, he comments: “ It's interesting because five years ago I thought my lifestyle would never change. I didn't think I needed a big house, a private jet or a VIP area at a nightclub. I didn't want all that “, assures the Spaniard to fans not only in his home country, but also throughout Europe and Asia.
« Life is leading me in this direction. I'm currently building a new house, a big one, because I need privacy. Sometimes I travel in a private jet, especially in the summer in Europe, because I can't move around freely. I enjoy traveling normally, but imagine everything that happens at Barcelona airport during the holiday season… I almost missed a flight the year before because it took me so long to get through the crowds! ».
He insists : " I don't like sitting at the VIP table at a nightclub. I would much rather be on the dance floor with my friends, but I can't. Life developed this way. I don't like it and I don't want it ».
The Honda official until the end of 2020 concludes: “ that's what I miss the most, I'm still trying to be normal and live in my hometown. But I can't be a normal boy. In fact, I am sociable and I would like to be surrounded by people, but I have to understand that it was impossible ».
