Alex Marquez He finished the day of testing in Valencia in third position, confirming his current form. The Gresini rider, who finished second in the world championship behind his brother Marc, managed the feat of holding his own against the factory riders very late in the season, despite having a bike a year older than the others. Next year, however, he too will have a Desmosedici GP26, like his brother, and will therefore be able to fight for even more prestigious positions.
The Spaniard was very happy with the day of testing that ended yesterday. « The day was rather positiveIt's true that we spent much less time on track than expected, did far fewer laps, and tested far fewer things than planned. But I think we tried different solutions, different little things, mainly to explore different avenues to pursue. to provide them with information, and they now have two months to work and plan for Malaysia » he asserted for Motosan.

He declined to reveal which machine he was using today. « It was positive, I felt good with the different motorcycleI don't want to name it, whether it's the 25, the 26, or any other. It's simply different. From that moment on, I felt good, and that's the positive point. For now, you've only seen the outer fairing. The side profile is very clean; we're testing different solutions, different approaches to determine the best orientation, and the results are quite positive. They are very similar motorcycles. There are differences in the parts, but the goal was simply to test which direction to take and how to assemble everything."There are therefore a number of elements that we still need to understand." he added.

In a very professional manner, he did not wish to discuss the case of other Ducati riders. « I don't know which motorcycle Bagnaia had, nor if the one I had today was the one he had been using since the beginning of the season.I felt good and comfortable from the very first session. I don't want to know what problems they did or didn't encounter. I focused on my performance and we made the most of the situation. » concluded Alex Marquez in Valencia. 19
