Before the eighth round of the MotoGP championship which will take place at Assen this weekend, the championship leader Marc Márquez indulged in some confidences. In comments relayed by Speedweek, the one who makes Formula 1 and bike during his rare leisure time opens up and makes some revelations...
The first is that at the age of 25, he decided to no longer live with his parents… “ yes, I still live with them, but next year I will have my own house. It will be in Cervera, one kilometer from my parents! My brother Alex might even come with me. There will be a large garage where we will store our cross machines and our motorcycles. There will also be a large sofa so that we can watch TV. It was time to leave. Because I have grown up! »
So much for the family. On the track side, he admits: “ I was lucky to be able to develop my talent. Few people have this privilege. When I was a child, we saved on holidays and Christmas to free up 3 euros and go running. To be a champion, you need talent, character, motivation, courage and the desire to succeed. Since I have been in this environment, I have never stopped learning. For example, at Mugello I followed Rossi and Lorenzo to learn from them. Driving, developing and winning are still fixed ideas for me ».
And on this point, next year, he will be served, even in his box with the arrival of Lorenzo ! “ He's a champion. And if he continues to deliver his hammer blows, he could well be titled this year with the Ducati. But it's good that he signed with Honda. We will be able to compete on equal terms. With him by my side, I will be able to learn even more! »
He ends with what spoils the Grand Prix celebration: the whistles he receives: “ I give everything during the race, but I do it correctly. I don't know if it will ever stop, but I have nothing to do with it. Of course I don't like it, but it doesn't hurt me. What really affects me is seeing, for example, Pirro's accident at Mugello and seeing him lying on the side of the track ».
