Marquez, the good mood returns
Even though he has not yet managed to return to the top step of the podium – He has been missing a victory since October 24, 2021 -, Marc Márquez can certainly file away the first half of the championship with a smile. With 10 of the 20 races played, the Spanish champion can say he has already achieved his set goals, namely that of feel competitive again for the top positions and having found a official team for 2025 – the best possible, that of Ducati Lenovo.
…but the falls also return
In the last few races Marquez has been trying tooth and nail with his GP23 to stay in the slipstream of the GP24s of Bagnaia, Martin and Bastianini, and it is not rare to see him running into falls – just think of Austin, Sachsenring and Silverstone.
In the ranking of mid-race crashes scheduled for 2024 (appeared on Brand), Marquez is the record holder with 15more than double that of Jorge Martin (7) and triple that of Francesco Bagnaia (5).
