Founded in 1997, Ajo Motorsport is one of the leading teams in the promotion championships to MotoGP. Many great talents who are now in MotoGP, such as Brad Binder, Pedro Acosta, Miguel Oliveira, and even Marc Márquez, have passed through its ranks.
In an interview with MCN, cited by the Motosan.es website, the team’s owner, Aki Ajo, did not fail to speak about Márquez, and despite his performances, stressed that he is a human being like others:
– I keep people on the same level. We are human and have talent, and we all have weaknesses. Marc Márquez was special, but we saw that he is human. Life is not always easy, and I try to show my athletes that we need weak moments as much as successes.
During his time at Ajo, Márquez was world champion in the 125cc category in 2010, which was the first title of his career, in his third season in the MotoGP paddock. The following year, he moved up to Moto2.
