• MotoGP silly season is in ♍full swing, who’s the nꦿext shock move?

Bot෴h Marquez brothers struggled at Honda last season, and while Marc is continuing to find hi𒊎mself in a dire situation with the Japanese brand, Alex has been rejuvenated by a switch to Ducati.

A surprising move at the time from Ducati’s perspective, has instead tﷺurned into a great decision as Marquez is in the best form of his premier c🎉lass career. 

Speaking about his younger brother’s performances and whether he expected this ty🌃pe of level, Mar꧒c dished out high praise: "Yes I expected this level from Alex. Because he’s a two-time world champion. How many world champions are in MotoGP? 

"There are many good riders, but world champions in Moto2 or Moto3? Not many. I expected he would be fast. When you are in a manufacturer are you struggle, but the others 💦are fast, then you don’t have the level. 

"But when you are in a manufac𒉰turer where all the riders are struggling, you understand that maybe you have the level but you need to find t🌞he right space. 

"He wa🧸s lucky to find the good place, a good team, he works well with the team. 

"W♕hen I saw him in Valencia I looked at his face and thought ‘OK, he will be fast!’ I haven’t changed the locks on th꧑e house!"
