P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Alex Marquez insists that he and his brother Marc Marquez do not share information as much as you might think.
The Marquez siblings, Marc and Alex, will be reuniting as Gresini Ducati riders this year. After Marc left Honda, Alex followed suit a year later. This means that they will share a garage, a bike, and data, which they have not done since their time as Repsol Honda teammates in 2020. Their partnership was cut short due to Marc’s injury.
Although they talk on the circuits, there is not much time for extensive communication between the brothers. Alex believes that sometimes talking can be more confusing than helpful, so each rider has to do their own thing. However, Alex admits that having his brother as a resource can be advantageous when in doubt.
Marc’s impressive debut on a Ducati at the Valencia test positions him as a title contender in the 2024 MotoGP season. This could also be a key factor in Alex’s improvement as a rider.
As the younger brother of MotoGP legend Marc Marquez, Alex has faced his fair share of challenges. Despite being a Moto3 and Moto2 champion himself, he has had to deal with criticism along the way. Alex uses criticism, even from “haters,” as motivation to work harder and prove himself. He believes in focusing on constructive criticism and surrounding himself with supportive people, including his family, to stay grounded in the spotlight.
