Ducati Gresini, not just Marc Marquez
The presentation of the Ducati Gresini, the first to unveil in the 2024 MotoGP season, had as its main attraction Marc Marquezwhich in recent months has become the protagonist of one of the most sensational market transitions of recent times, moving from Honda to Ducati. In the Gresini household, however, his brother Alex also claims spacewho played a big role in the team's growth in 20223, leading them to the podium in two grands prix (Argentina and Malaysia) and success in the Silverstone and Sepang Sprints.
The words of Alex Marquez
“I arrived here last year at a difficult time, but I believed in this project, in this bike, in this team and in this family. It was a very good season, we made mistakes that we need to fix but now we're starting from scratch“, these were his words in the presentation of the Gresini team's Ducati in Riccione.
“I don't want to set goals in terms of positions and results, we need to improve what we did in 2023. The important thing will be to be fast and stay in the top positions. Marc? I won't have any problems staying in front of him, he has already won a lot…“, he said with a smile. “Whoever is in front will remain in the family, but if I am in front, all the better“.
“The goal is to win the first Grand Prix after doing so in two Sprints and having obtained many podiums. What if I've already argued with Marc? Never, he's calm and then I'm the veteran of the team, he just arrived…“, he concluded with a joke. “Having a very strong teammate like him will help me and the team take a further step forward. As a brother and a rider, I know what he went through. For me it's a dream to share the team with him. We've already done it once (in Honda, ed.) but for a short time. I'm sure it will go differently this time“.
