RiderTua.com – Marc Marquez lost his chance to win at the American GP due to braking problems, so the Gresini Ducati rider failed to score points at his favorite circuit (7 wins while still with Honda).
The question is, does Marquez feel hopeless because he can’t take advantage of the opportunity to win in Texas? Or does racing at the front with technical problems prove his competitiveness cannot be underestimated?
BTW, before the American GP Marc said that he had achieved the target he set himself for his first race with Gresini. “My target, which I didn’t say before, is to be in the top 5 in the first two races,” he said.
Marc Marquez Happy: In Qatar Duel Against Martin, in Portimao Fight with Pecco!
Marc Marquez added that he was in the top 5 in both the sprint race and long race. Then, Portimao also entered the top 5. In Qatar he dueled against Jorge Martin (Pramac) and in Portimao he fought with Pecco Bagnaia (Ducati manufacturer) who incidentally is the top racer at Ducati. This makes him happy.
Currently Marquez is 44 points behind standings leader Jorge Martin after the first 3 MotoGP series of the 2024 season. What is worrying, perhaps because he has not gained any points at all from the last two long races, although it could be said that it was not his own fault. This made his initial assessment as a Ducati racer quite difficult.
However, judging from his comments regarding the target he set, this shows that Baby Alien is optimistic about the next race.
