An even start full of spectacle
The MotoGP World Championship has started with great excitement and has made it clear that there will be a spectacle from the first to the last day. The first races of the season, at the Qatar Grand Prix, have shown great equality between the drivers. Jorge Martín won an exciting sprint race, while Pecco Bagnaia took the victory in Sunday’s race. However, one of the main protagonists of this season will be Marc Márquez, who once again enjoys motorcycling on a Ducati motorcycle from the Gresini Racing team.
Marc Márquez’s challenge
Despite his return, Marc Márquez will not have an easy time this season. Although his talent and charisma are recognized, the Italian Ducati factory is not doing the Catalan rider any favors. During the first weekend of official competition, it was observed that the drivers who fought for the title last season, Bagnaia and Martín, are several steps ahead of the rest of the grid and also of Márquez. This is largely due to the fact that Bagnaia and Martín have a much better bike than Márquez has, since the Gresini team uses a Ducati from last year, which is inferior to the 2024 version.
Ducati’s recognition of Marc Márquez
Despite the difficulties he faces, Marc Márquez has the recognition of Ducati. Mauro Grassilli, the new sports director of the Italian factory, has praised the Catalan rider and has highlighted his importance in the world of motorcycling. Grassilli has mentioned that Márquez is a winning and charismatic driver, and that he is an honest and sincere person. Additionally, he has hinted at the possibility that Márquez could join the Ducati Lenovo Team next season, although there is no rush to make that decision.
Marc Márquez’s challenge and his search for a better contract
Marc Márquez is in a complicated situation, since he needs to have a great season to secure a better contract in the future. However, he also faces obstacles in his path. Although many teams want to have him, they also try to make things difficult for him. The Gresini team, of which he is a part along with his brothers, uses an inferior motorcycle, which further complicates his challenge. Regardless, Márquez is known for his ability to perform at his best in adverse situations, and he is expected to once again demonstrate his talent and determination in this MotoGP season.
