After a few challenging seasons with Repsol Honda, far from the results and competitiveness he had until 2019, Marc Márquez decided to make a bold move and join Gresini. It will be his first time with a satellite team, but he will also have access to a Ducati – the most competitive bike currently – and Loris Capirossi believes the Spaniard has everything to return to success.
In an interview with Radio Cusano Campus, the Italian expressed his happiness for Fausto Gresini’s team and emphasized that #93 will be a protagonist again: ‘I am very happy for Gresini, and having been a great friend of Fausto, I regret that he could not achieve a goal of this magnitude. I think any team is pleased to have a rider like Márquez on their side. I am sure that next year, many things will change because he will be an important rider again’.
In Capirossi’s view, Márquez’s decision is courageous and the result of his desire to return to winning: ‘It is undoubtedly a courageous choice, and what led him to make it was the desire to win again. Unfortunately, for him, the Honda was no longer a winning bike as it was in the past. He preferred to make the leap to a team that still gives him a chance to win again. It’s not easy, but in my opinion, his talent and his desire to get back in the game will help him 100%’.
