Alex Marquez admits he is searching for a Plan B amid Ducati’s huge rider decisions for nꦐext seaso💙n.

The Gresini rider wants to stay put in his current team but, with a huge reshuffle plausible, he is working to guarantee his place in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP rider line-up.

Alex’s brother Marc is at the centre of silly season but Alex himself has barely been mentioned, even though his Gresini contract expir🌼es this season.

“Normally 🐟things go from the top guys,” Alex said about the rider market, referencing Ducati’s decision over their 202ꦿ5 factory line-up.

“Everybody is waiting. Marc, Jorge, Enea…

“We need to wait. I speak with Nadia an꧃d Gresini. I am calm with what they are saying to me.

“I am working on📖 more options to have a Plan B because you never kno🎉w what will happen with this situation.

“My preference is to continue with Gresini.”

Alex was asked about Ducati’s call, whether to replace Enea Bastianini wi🍒th Marc Marquez or Jorge Martin.

His warning was thatꩵ whoever is ov𒐪erlooked could haunt Ducati riding a rival’s bike.

“My opinion is 💝not fair,” he said. “I would take my brother!

“It’s a difficult decision. I think Ducati need to be🌠 quite calm because whatever decision they take will be a good one.

“It’s not like they are playing wi🐽th their future. This one, the other, the other… they are all good ones.

“The rider they will lose is a problem for them. Because he wi🔥ll go to another manufacturer and wil꧙l be fast.”

“Marc Marquez is more relaxed because he is fast"

The smile that has returned to the faceౠ of his illustrious brother Marc is because he is a less-pressurised satellite team atmosphere, it was suggested to Alex.

But he replied: “The atmosphere on the team can be more relaxed🧸 but the pressure is still there.

“Who 🤪wasn’t saying, at the start, where Marc 💖would be after the first race? This is pressure.

“He is more relaxed because he is fast.

“You can be in a satellite team but, if you are not fast, the smile wi𓆉ll not come.

“He i🤪s really good at Gresini. His decision has weight because I have sa☂id to him that he is comfortable here.”

This weekend’s Catalunya MotoGP ♏brings Alex back to familiar surroundings, but to a track where he is yet to excel in the preღmier class.

“I have been fast here in Moto🍰3 and Moto2,” he said. “In MotoGP I have never had the best♍ weekend here.

“With Honda this was a track where we suffered with⛄ the grip.

“The set-up and the setting [on the Ducati] has ch𝓰anged a lot [from last ܫyear].

“It’s a flow track with not a lot of braking points.💫 You 𝕴need to always have speed. It depends on the bike - if you have a bike which turns a lot, you will have more grip.

“It is something that Aprilia have here. They have good t♌urning on the first corners. They have speed so don’t stress about 𒁏the grip.

“We are good in corners where🌄 we use the front brake re🔯ally deep. If we flow more, we suffer more. We pick up, but a little too late.  Aprilia can turn the bike, are on a better line.”
