After saying he even came to have some doubts regarding his future, Marc Marquez went further and said that he actually thought of taking a «gap» year. It won’t happen that, as the rider will terminate his contract and have a new, refreshing adventure… with Ducati, using the colors of Gresini Racing.
‘Taking a year off was one of the possibilities, because competing without enjoying it makes no sense to me. I have done a lot of things in the past, but what I want to do is fight in the present’, the iconic and eight time world champion said in Indonesia.
Marquez told then what is his current goal, to fight and enjoy, while still saying he had other options on the table but it was Gresini Racing the one who was decided to wait for him the more: ‘Regardless of whether you have eight or one championship on your record, you have to fight in the present. That was the goal. I had different options. I’m not going to reveal them, because I respect all these teams. But the ones that waited for me were the Gresini team. They took a gamble, so to speak, because I didn’t promise them anything tangible’.
