RiderTua.com – Marc Marquez is preparing to make his official debut in the MotoGP race with the Ducati Desmosedici GP, the best bike on the grid at the moment. For the world champion from Catalonia it will be an unusual situation, being in a satellite team like Gresini, where the family atmosphere is paramount. In another corner of the garage he will be accompanied by his brother Alex, in his second season with Nadia Padovani’s team, where Alex is also returning from a bad experience with Honda.
Marc Marquez Didn’t Bring Many Honda Mechanics
On DAZN media, Marc Marquez talked about the fantastic adventure that started last November at the Valencia test. “Actually, the first time I saw myself on screen wearing those colors (Gresini racing suit), I felt a strange feeling…I still don’t see myself wearing these colors, it’s difficult after wearing the Repsol Honda Team colors for many years. But I am happy and most importantly grateful for this opportunity, I will try to make the most of it. I know emotionally for Nadia, for her whole family, it means a lot that I am on this team, because Fausto speaks highly of me and I appreciate it this,” he said.
For Gresini, having a talented rider like Marc in his ranks is also unusual, something will definitely change. “My arrival should not change the atmosphere in the Gresini family. For this reason I only brought one of my collaborators from the Repsol team, but not the entire team. They have a family here, they have their own environment and by changing drivers you cannot destroy “The whole family, I have to adapt. As the Marquez family, we will try to give them a lot of trophies. They have a collection of wins and podiums in MotoGP, so we will try to add to that and give them a lot of joy,” he added.
Nadia Padovani, Gresini team boss, feels like a dream has come true and sometimes she still can’t believe it. Gresini can give everything a family can give, they will be close to Marc. “If there is a problem he can calmly come and talk to us. We will try to be there for his good. We will always be with him,” said the Gresini team owner.
