Alex Marquez says he has “a great opportunity” to win the British MotoGP after taking victory in Saturday’s Sprint.
Following his first Sprint win of the 2025 season, Alex Marquez expressed optimism about his chances at the British MotoGP on Sunday, stating that he has “a great opportunity” to perform well.
Marquez’s victory in the Sprint was achieved ahead of his brother, Marc Marquez, who had dominated the previous six Sprints. However, Alex Marquez acknowledged the need to balance confidence with caution to avoid losing points like in previous races.
Despite starting second on the grid behind Fabio Quartararo, Marquez was able to maintain a strong pace throughout the race and capitalize on a mistake by Marc Marquez to secure the win.
Marquez’s ability to preserve his front tire and maintain corner speed played a crucial role in his success, especially as other riders struggled with tire wear late in the race.
Although a crash in FP2 initially frustrated Marquez, he recognized the importance of controlling risks to avoid unnecessary mistakes that could impact his championship standings.
