• MotoGP silly season is in full swing, who’s the next shock m♉ove?

Both Marquez brothers s🥂truggled at Honda lastꦫ season, and while Marc is continuing to find himself 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 turned into a gre🥂at decision as Marquez is in the best form of his premier class career. 

Speaking about his younger brothe🦄r’s performances and whether he expected this type of level, Marc dished out high praise: "Yes I expected this l💦evel from Alex. Because he’s a two-time world champion. How many world champions are in MotoGP? 

"There are many g🍃ood 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 fa✃st, then you don’t have the level. 

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

"He was𝄹 lucky to find the good place, a good team, he works well with the team. 

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