The “best version” of Alex Marquez is in MotoGP this season, racing with Marc “like school”.
Alex Marquez is having his best MotoGP season yet, with 18 podium finishes out of 24 races, including a grand prix win at Jerez and a Sprint race win at Silverstone. He credits his success to the confidence and consistency provided by his current bike, the year-old Gresini Ducati GP24.
Despite his impressive performance, Marquez acknowledges that his brother Marc is dominating the 2025 season with a 175-point lead. However, Alex is on track for a historic one-two finish in the championship standings, currently holding second place.
While a factory contract in 2027 may be within reach for Marquez, he remains focused on the present and enjoying his success. He recognizes the importance of the team and project surrounding him, emphasizing that it’s not just about joining a factory team.
Marquez admits that winning the title may be out of reach this season, but he is using the opportunity to learn from his brother Marc, who he considers one of the best in MotoGP history. Alex sees his brother as a benchmark and a valuable source of learning in his own racing career.
