Alex Marquez is whose brother you know, which is not so easy to bear. Even with a Moto3 World Champion title in his pocket, we remain the shadow of the Marc phenomenon which is rampant in MotoGP. A difficulty added to that of sharing his box with another driver who shows on the track all the good things that we think of him, namely Franco Morbidelli. But, in either case, Alex Márquez predicts a suspenseful epilogue in their respective championships.
Alex Marquez has been affected by his sciatic nerve since a violent fall at Silverstone and he knows that this handicap will prevent him from playing his card for the Moto2 world title, which however remains mathematically still possible. Because the Marc VDS driver is 93 points behind his teammate while there are still 100 points to collect. However, he has little illusion: “JI no longer have the pressure of the title so I will try to enjoy the remaining races and prepare for the 2018 season. In 2016, the overseas campaign went well, and I hope that I will make further progress this year. The first stop is Japan where I won twice in Moto3. I hope to have a normal weekend there, without being disturbed by my injury ».
For his predictions for the Moto2 and MotoGP titles, he remains in the dark: “In Moto2, we tackle tracks that Tom Lüthi likes. He showed he was competitive last year. I think the battle will last until the final moments. In MotoGP, it’s also indecision. Marc has the advantage of being effective in all conditions. In the dry or in the wet. The title will be decided in Valencia ».
On the rest of his career, Alex Marquez shows the same discernment: “II don't know when I will go to MotoGP. And one thing will be to be there and another to fight against Marc. I remain focused on Moto2. I must first be titled in this category. Once that is done, I will take advantage of it to take a chance to go to MotoGP ».
