Álex Márquez and Marc Márquez will share Gresini Racing’s garage this 2024, and the youngest of the clan believes that having such a strong rider by his side, will help him to stand out.
Recalling his past experience in the season he became Moto2 world champion, Álex Márquez said in a press conference organised by Estrella Galicia 0,0: ‘In my personal experience, when I’ve had a teammate with whom I got along very well, those have been my best years, like in 2019 when I had Xavi Vierge as a teammate in Moto2 and I became World Champion’.
And explained then how this presence can help you to get the best of yourself too: ‘That competitiveness on the track, but getting along outside of it and forming a bit of a «team» not only helps with common work but also unites the forces of the riders and allows them to discuss things that you wouldn’t discuss with another teammate, which makes everyone work in the same direction’.
Álex Márquez finished the season in 9th, with 177 points added, while Marc was 14th with 96.
