Alex Márquez: “I had to take the opportunity of Ducati to show me that I am the same as in 2019 and 2020”

MADRID, 5 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The Spanish MotoGP rider Alex Márquez (Honda) is hoping to take advantage of the “opportunity” to race for Ducati from 2023 and prove that he is “the same” as he was in 2019, when he was Moto2 world champion, and 2020 , when he debuted in the ‘queen’ category and achieved two podiums.

“I had to take that opportunity to say: ‘OK Álex, show yourself that you are the same as in 2020 and in 2019 when I won in Moto2’. I think I have that potential and, therefore, this opportunity with a bike that He wins races, he’s ahead, he has many riding styles and many different drivers,” said Márquez on DAZN’s ‘La Caja’ program.

The Catalan believes that with the Italian brand “you have everything” and that is why now “it depends” on him. “I’m putting pressure on myself, there are no excuses, but I’ll finish at the end of the year and I’ll say: ‘Well, I’m good for this, or I’m no good’. But you have to be honest with yourself,” he warned.

The two-time world champion does not hide that the lack of results with the Honda has made him doubt himself too much. “There are moments on the bike when you say you don’t know how to ride. Then you talk to Pol (Espargaró), with Taka (Nakagami), with Marc (Márquez) and they all say the same thing. It seems that he doesn’t know how to ride on the bike. motorcycle in many moments and you can only do what the motorcycle does. That mentally has been very hard, but I will be grateful, I am sure, “he remarked.

Despite this, the man from Cervera continues to have the “dream” of conquering the crown in MotoGP. “I also said it in 2015 when I was in Moto2 and I was suffering after being world champion in Moto3. People said I was crazy, but in the end I was,” he said.

“I would like to be remembered as someone who worked. Not someone who is obsessed, because reaching that point is bad, but someone who when he has to be, is there; when he has to work, he is there; no detail is left behind “, he added about his work philosophy.
