Marc Marquez completed the third year with Ducati’s satellite, the Gresinibehind Pecco Bagnaia (second) and Jorge Martín (world champion). three victories (San Marino, Aragon and Australia) and, above all, regain the feeling that he is once again capable of anything on the bike.
And this Tuesday, during an event “Estrella Galicia”, He said he wouldn’t have been champion in 2024 if he had ridden the same bike as Pecco and Jorge, the Ducati GP24.
“I won’t say yes because Jorge and Pecco had a great year. I wouldn’t have won it. Maybe it would have been closer, but I wouldn’t have won it,” said the new Ducati rider, who has already tested what his new machine will be for next season during the Montmeló tests.
“I went back to what I did at Honda. These are training sessions more for the technicians than for the driver. That’s why I said Gresini was perfect for me. During testing, they were for me. In an official team, everything is structured. This is what I found. I missed him too. I feel ready to make the necessary comments. The important thing is that they coincide with those of their teammate and that makes things easier for the engineers,” explained the eight-time world champion.
He expressed, very smiling, that although this year he could not fight for the title, it was much more important for him to be “reborn”: “I told the Gresini team. No titles were won, but this year I won many more. “I managed to rediscover myself and extend my sporting career.”
“I had little birds in my head, doubts which were resolved very well. I will try to continue with this happiness, because if you are happy, you are fast”, said the man from Cervera to finish.
