Marc Marquez says he is “enjoying” being competitive again in MotoGP at the Qatar Grand Prix, which was “one of the nightmares of the previous years”.
The six-time MotoGP world champion made his Ducati race debut on Saturday in Qatar in the first sprint of the year, finishing fifth after qualifying sixth for Gresini Racing. Marquez was a factor in the podium battle before a late mistake cut him adrift, but he still said he achieved the goal he set out for himself ahead of the season.
