Álex Márquez entered MotoGP in 2020 with Repsol Honda and, after a stint with LCR Honda, he is now with Gresini riding a Ducati. Heading into his fifth season, he believes that he could become a champion in the future.
When asked by CopeGP if winning the premier class title is still a dream, #73 confirmed, emphasizing that his hope to achieve it remains: ‘Yes, indeed. I think dreaming is free, and I work with the hope of achieving it someday. Next year, at 28, I would be one of the veterans on the grid, but I still dream of it, and from 28 to 32 years old is when you are at your best mentally and physically. So, I will still try to make the most of it, and from there, we’ll see what happens’.
On the other hand, Márquez stressed that the second year in the same team and on the same bike must be stronger: ‘The second year always has to be better than the first, and that consistency that we lacked will have to come. Whether it will come or not, the future will tell. But knowing the bike and, above all, knowing the team, prevents some small mistakes we made this year – not only in terms of crashes but also inside the garage, misunderstandings, or whatever – from happening again because you know each other better. And as a team, you become much more complete’.
