RiderTua.com – Marc Marquez and Ducati are getting closer and could be tied even stronger thanks to the Audi brand (Audi Sports, which is part of the VW Group, bought Ducati in 2012).. From now on Marc will be the ‘spokesperson’ for the Audi brand in Spanish.
Marc Marquez increasingly unable to leave Ducati?
Marc Marquez failed to get on the podium in Qatar, in the first race of the MotoGP championship with Ducati. However, the Gresini family was very enthusiastic about fighting for fourth place, with their younger brother Alex in sixth place. An excellent starting point… a definite step forward for the Cervera rider who has finally found his smile again, after difficult years with Honda.
Meanwhile, the relationship between the Marquez brothers and Ducati is getting stronger. Signing to the Ducati Gresini team brings them closer to official sponsors Audi and the Volkswagen group. Following BMW’s many wins in previous years as best poleman, Marc will now drive the new Audi RS 6 Avant, in his new role as the brand’s ambassador in Spain. It’s an honor he will share with his brother Alex who received the Audi RS 4 Avant.
Marc Marquez’s new car is a spectacular ultra-sporty family sedan with a V8 twin-turbo petrol engine producing 630 horsepower. This is also the Performance version, capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds. The price of this car is 169,710 euros. Marc loved the design and features their vehicles offered, but there was something more important. “I share their enthusiasm for perfection and their constant pursuit of excellence. We both carry values such as improvement and perseverance in our DNA,” said the Gresini rider.
