This has been a very positive year for Alex Marquez, his first at the helm of a Ducati Desmosedici and with Gresini. After having been aboard a Honda RC213V, the two time world champion had no issues in saying that the italian bike allowed him to do things he wasn’t expecting to do.
To Moto.it, the rider admitted that the Desmosedici gave him the tools to be faster than ever, despite being the kind of rider that doesn’t always go fast straight away: ‘I’m not a rider who goes fast from the start, but with this bike I’ve been able to be fast, win a Sprint, podium, front row, pole and I’ve done things I didn’t expect to do’.
The goals towarsd 2024 are to be even more competitive: ‘The objective was to be in the top seven/eight and next year I will take the next step to fight for more important things’.
