The Márquez brothers have a very close relationship which allows them to help each other, until they soon face each other in MotoGP.
In the family Márquez, the two sons could total ten world titles between them at the end of the season. On the one hand, the eight insured Marc, on the other the Moto3 title ofálex and perhaps a new one in Moto2, which he could win during the Asian tour thanks to his 40 point lead. However, nothing has been done yet, and the youngest knows that he will have to give everything and stay focused until the end to bring back this tenth family title.
If the eldest has already confided that he was aware that being his brother was not an easy thing from a media point of view, it is even less so now that he has won his title. “In our Whatsapp group of friends, everyone says “now it’s your turn””, explains Álex in a video interview made with his brother for their sponsor Estrella Galicia 0,0.
“I put pressure on you, didn’t I? » Number 93 replies, amused, before adding seriously: “If you don’t get it, it doesn’t matter, the important thing is to try and have a clear conscience saying “I tried”. »
If the rivalry between the brothers exists, goodwill takes the upper hand for the moment, and they thus prepare their Grands Prix always side by side. “At home we help each other a lot, we are together all the time, we train together, but on the circuit everyone is on their own side. We just have dinner together because there is hospitality, but everyone has their group of mechanics, their problems and everyone is focused on their box” comments Marc. “One day we may be rivals, and everyone will have their own problems. »
It is true that the arrival of his younger brother in MotoGP is all the more clear as he could end up titled at the end of the season. So it's only a matter of time before they face each other in the premier category. This situation could be complicated to manage, but would allow Marc to have less weight. “People think being brothers helps but no, it puts pressure. I felt it sometimes. When my brother wins in Moto2, people in the paddock come to me and say “your brother won, now it’s your turn, a double would be great!” » » he finishes.
