RiderTua.com – Marc Marquez is one of the most highlighted riders in the 2024 MotoGP season. According to his former manager Emilio Alzamora, Marc must be patient to return to the front row. Marc Marquez is starting his MotoGP career again with the Ducati Gresini team, after experiencing difficult times with Honda in previous years. Competition in satellite Borgo Panigale has certainly increased with his arrival, immediately overshadowing his fellow brands Di Giannantonio, Bezzecchi and Morbidelli. After just two races, contact with Francesco Bagnaia in Portimao was the first highlight of the challenge for the top.
Marc Marquez Must Be Patient
Riding Marc Marquez’s Desmosedici is a big challenge for everyone. His tough character was immediately visible, showing that he would not back down for any reason. What happened in Portugal never happened between Bagnaia and Jorge Martin last season in MotoGP, when the two fought corner after corner to fight for the world title. Both champions lost valuable points at the Portuguese circuit, but from Austin onwards, we will see more good points. “I don’t think the Ducati rider would have tackled him any harder than on the Honda. It was just a fight for position… he told me he was only thinking about two extra points and wanted to keep his position,” he said. position is normal…
Emilio Alzamora (Marc’s former manager) spoke about the Cervera rider he has known since he was a child, despite a professional split less than two years ago. How long do you think it will take for Marc to win again? “More than just seeing him win, I see that he has won what he wanted, which is to have fun again on the bike, which is the first goal. When asked if he will win the World title, it will depend on whether he has the patience to adapt with this new bike and understanding that on a circuit that is not so favorable he has to try to finish the race (not push). From what we saw at the start of the championship, this was very clear .”
Despite still having a rough understanding of the Ducati GP23, Marquez is trying his best at the top and has achieved second place in the Portimao MotoGP Sprint. And the next day he was on his way to the podium, if not for that accident at Turn 5. “What I see is Marc putting his experience into practice. Anyone who knows how to finish, not just Marc, who is in the top five in ninety percent of the races, already has a lot to be able to reach the end of the year by being more adapted to his bike, his team, his technicians . . and so on. We need this to make a difference.
At the American GP, Marc also said that he realized the need to adapt to the Ducati bike, which according to him is very different from the Honda… A more in-depth introduction to the advantages of the Borgo Panigale factory bike is needed in order to maximize its potential… For this reason, patience is needed to win the world title. or even a series win on every race weekend..
“An official spec bike will be needed for next year, but he has experience and he has his own manager. This is their business,” concluded Alzamora.
