P1racenews AI automatic summary:
If a Gresini Ducati rider starts on the top step of the Qatar MotoGP season opener on March 10, Marc Marquez insists it’s more likely to be team-mate and younger brother Alex.
Marc is moving from Honda to Ducati after 11 seasons, while Alex will start his second year on a Desmosedici after successful performances in 2023. Marc believes Alex has a better chance of winning in Qatar, and he is not focused on victory himself. Alex, on the other hand, is optimistic about his chances and winning in Qatar sounds good to him. Marc advises Alex to be realistic and make steady progress instead of expecting immediate success. The pressure on the team will increase due to Marc’s past success and large fanbase. Gresini had a victory in the 2021 Qatar season opener with Enea Bastianini.
