Marc Marquez plans to target Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin, in the same way that incoming Honda riders would target him.
Marc Marquez, alongside his brother Alex Marquez, was unveiled as a Gresini Racing rider, eager to ride the Ducati that he hopes will bring him back to the front of MotoGP. However, he will face the challenge of competing against seven other Ducati riders, including reigning champion Bagnaia and runner-up Martin. Marquez acknowledges that these two riders are the strongest and he aims to learn from them on how to ride the bike effectively. He will be riding the GP23, while the factory Ducati and Pramac riders will be on the new GP24. Marquez is focused on managing himself and not overly concerned about his opponents. He expressed gratitude towards the Gresini team for their patience in waiting for his decision and sees it as a risky but exciting challenge. Despite not having a clear objective, Marquez enjoyed his debut on the Ducati and is eagerly looking forward to the upcoming tests in Malaysia. He also expressed support for his brother Alex, believing that he will perform well this year. Overall, Marquez is determined to have fun again and slowly build a strong foundation.
