Marc Marquez and Alex Marquez offer glimpse into dynamic as teammates ahead of 2024 MotoGP season
The older Marquez was asked, if he was in second position in a race behind only his younger brother, would he try to overtake and risk them both crashing out?He commented with a laugh: “It's instinctive, but in any case I prefer to have to ask for forgiveness rather than ask for permission, even if it's my brother.”
“My entire sporting career has been on the right side of the box, so negotiating with the team manager I told him that I would like to have the right side."You always try to help a teammate, although there is rivalry because a rider’s first rival is his teammate,” Marc said. Marquez has offered glimpses of excitement riding his new bike during testing, but clearly there are also issues to iron out.“A motorcycle can go very well but the rider has to ride it one way or another.
“But in the life of the athlete there are times when it is necessary to change in order to continue with the sports career and it was my turn to make this change.”Marquez joins his younger brother Alex who, a year earlier, swapped LCR Honda for Gresini.Alex revealed that his brother started questioning him about riding a Ducati only after his move to Gresini was confirmed.
