Motogp, Marquez: “2025 will not be just between me and Pecco. I will keep a low profile”

Bologna, 2 December 2024 – Marc Marquez remains cautious. The eight-time world champion does not see a battle for the 2025 world championship as being limited to just him and Pecco bagnaiaThe dream team risks leaving the crumbs to the others given that Ducati comes from a season of only victories except one, the prerogative of Aprilia. In short, the best couple in the world on the best bike in the world can dominate the entire season, but for Marc Marquez it won't be like that, at least for now. There's Jorge Martin on Aprilia, there is Pedro Acosta on KTM: there could be fearsome opponents. More than any other, the main opponent will be Pecco bagnaia and with him the champion from Cervera seems intent on keeping a low profile.  

Marquez: “He’s in charge, we’ll work to get closer”

Definitely Marc Marquez has the chance to fight for the title, it would be his ninth in his career, equal to Vale Rossi, but for now he is thinking with a low profile, entering on tiptoe into a box where authority is bagnaia, two-time world champion on the red bike from Borgo Panigale. Listen to Marc: “I have never experienced a situation like this before – his words – I arrive in a box where there is already a status and Pecco is in command having won two titles. We will work to get closer but the reference is bagnaia. It's time to keep a low profile." Mind you, this doesn't mean that Marquez will not fight for the title: "We will try and I try to be realistic. I arrive in a box with a driver who has won eleven races this season, but if we can steal the title from him we will do it", the response of MarquezWith these premises Ducati seems capable of dominating the world championship, but for Marquez It won't be like that. Pre-tactics? It could be, also because scratching this superiority with KTM in financial crisis seems decidedly difficult. Maybe he can try Martin with Aprilia: “Everyone says we will dominate, but here are the best riders in the world. In sports you have to look at the present and not at the fact that I won a lot in the past. Then every year the youngsters always emerge”. Marquez he doesn't even see an internal struggle between him and bagnaiaThere's Jorge Martin, the reigning champion, who will try to strengthen Noale's ambitions, and Pedro Acosta, the baby phenomenon, who however will have to deal with KTM's insolvency: "It will not be a championship between me and Pecco - Marquez's words - We will have to discover the evolutions of the other bikes, because there is Martin with an Aprilia who has won races and Pedro Acosta on KTM who is going strong. It will not be easy and to win a world championship everything must go perfectly". The cards will be revealed in 2025.
