A good year after a lot of darkness for Marc Márquez…
“It was time for a smiley video. We had four years of videos of fractures. Injuries are the other side of being an athlete. But by DNA, we are non-conformist, we always want more. The body is wise, it remembers injuries but adapts. This year has been dedicated to progress and preparation for 2025”he explained.
Grateful to his 2024 team, where he was very helpful: “I told Gresini. We didn't win a title, but this year I won a lot more. I managed to find myself and extend my career. I had little birds in my head, doubts which were resolved in a very good way. I will try to continue with this happiness, because if you are happy, you are fast”.
“The questions I asked myself for this year have been answered, and in a positive way”said the Cervera pilot. “I'm competitive, that was the main question mark, and this year I will be with the best bike on the grid, the best weapons to fight for another title. Let's see what I can do. This year I didn't win the title, but on a personal level I won a lot more. Now I wonder how I ever thought to stop, but in my situation it made sense. Next year I will try to be happy, because if you are happy, you are fast”Marquez said.
“On the test day, the first in a new team, the main goal was to get to know the people. I spent 90% of the time on the GP25, Pecco and I found the same benefits and the same problems »he revealed about the Barcelona test. “From GP23 to 24 there was a step, from 24 to 25 it's different, it's difficult to notice the step at first, but it's there. I feel ready to give precise feedback to the factory, it's fortunate that it coincides with that of my teammate. »
“My challenge is to have a complete pre-season, where I can prepare physically, and logically I would like to fight for the title »declared Marc Marquez about his goals. “That’s why
I'm with the best bike and the best team. I have all the tools to fight for the titlenow it will be in my hands”he added. “ Gigi is for me the best leader. There are many engineers, some better and some worse. But you have to be a leader.. »
“To approach the 2025 season, the only plan is to be fast on track to achieve the goals. We are in MotoGP, where my teammate has won 11 races. Everything is difficult. The tendency is to say that I have gained a lot, but we are in the present”he continued, giving a preview of the campaign to come.
The controversy surrounding El Hormiguero and La Revuelta according to Marc Márquez: “When they call you for programs of this caliber, it’s a good sign. It makes sense that they are fighting for the champion, that they want to have him. I have been to Hormiguero several times, I have many friends there. Both suit me. Which one would I go to? On the couch at home. I didn't go to either one, because that's the champion's job. There are things a pilot can't control.”he said.
These famous differences between the Honda and the Ducati : “I noticed them, and you start to understand why Ducati is where it is. Life is action-reaction, and Tuesday night at 11 a.m. I had messages on my cell phone indicating which direction we were going to go. It's something I've never experienced before.”he concludes.
