Marc Marquez has called for more “respect” for his brother Alex in the aftermath of a Dutch TT weekend in which the way they race each other was in the spotlight
Marc Marquez has emphasized the need for more “respect” towards his brother Alex following the Dutch TT weekend, during which their racing dynamics were put under scrutiny. Despite Alex showing strong performance and being close to challenging Marc in the sprint race, he struggled to make a successful overtaking move. This led to questions about Alex’s approach towards racing his brother, with some suggesting he should have been more aggressive. However, Alex explained that he lacked the speed in crucial sections of the track to make a pass on Marc. In a similar situation on Sunday, Marco Bezzecchi faced challenges overtaking Marc, prompting Marc to defend both Alex and himself from criticism during MotoGP events and press conferences. Bezzecchi supported Alex’s efforts to overtake and agreed that the circumstances made it nearly impossible to execute a successful pass. Overall, Marc emphasized the importance of respecting all MotoGP riders and acknowledging their dedication to their teams and the sport.
