Gresini Ducati’s Alex Marquez has explained the backstory to his final lap celebration at the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix, which he saꩲys he “didn’t have the balls to do” before.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez scored his first MotoGP grand prix victory last Sunday at Jerez after capitalising on former championship leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez crashing on lap three of 25.

The Gresini rider has been🐻 ul♛tra-consistent in 2025 so far, finishing second in all sprints and was runner-up in all but one grand prix prior to the Spanish GP.

Though twice a sprint w🔯inner in MotoGP, Sunday’s victory marked his first in a grand prix since the Czech GP 💜of his 2019 title-winning Moto2 campaign.

Holding a several-second lead over second-placed F﷽abio Quartararo coming into the stadium section on the final lap, Alex Marquez was seen waving to the fans on the packed hillside.

It was a celebration he reveals his team wasn’t too happy about, ♏but one he said he had wanted to do since he saw Jorge Lorenzo celebrating in the same way when he w📖on the 2011 Spanish GP.

He admits he had a chance to do it in 2017 when he won his first race in Moto2ܫ, but was too scared at that time.

𒅌“The team didn’t [like it],” he joked when asked about his celebration.

“They already said to♛ me ‘why did you do that with your hand?’

“I was in Moto3, or I was not e🍎ven in the championship I think, when I saw Lorenzo doing that.

“⛎And I said ‘fuck, if some day I’m there I need to do that’.

“So, in Moto2 I 🌌had a really big gap but I did🐈n’t have the balls to do it.

“So, this time I said ‘I 🌳have to to do it, this opportunity I may not have again 💯in my life, so I need to do it’. The crowd deserved it and it was a really nice moment.”

Alex Marquez’s victory at Jerez made MotoGP history as 𒆙the Marquez's have now become the first brothers to win races in the😼 premier class.

The Gresini rider also now leads the champi♐onship again, albeit by a point over Marc Marꦏquez, heading to next weekend’s French GP.

Alex Marquez also ensured Gresini has celebrated a✨t least one grand prix victory every year since becoming a Ducati satellite partner in 2022, joining Enea Bastianini (2022), Fabio Di Giannantonio (2023) and Marc Marquez (2024) in winning for the outfit.
