P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Every MotoGP factory – bar Yamaha – needs to be considering Alex Marquez in their future rider line-up plans
Toprak Razgalioglu’s placement at Pramac by Yamaha for 2026 showed that age and lack of previous MotoGP success don’t deter strong manufacturer interest. The case is similar with Alex Marquez, who revitalized his career with privateer Ducati machinery in 2023. While Marquez may have a ceiling as an occasional grand prix winner, his recent performances deserve reevaluation of his market value.
Razgatlioglu’s move to Yamaha highlights the potential for MotoGP adaption, while Marquez becomes a contender for non-Yamaha factory teams. Despite facing obstacles in earlier seasons, Marquez is shining with his current bike. His impressive track record in 2025 has shown tremendous growth and potential for the future.
