After racing for three seasons in the premier class of MotoGP with a Honda RC213V, Spanish rider Alex Marquez has gone on to agree a deal with Gresini Racing and will join their squad for the 2023 MotoGP season. This indirectly means that he will be shifting manufacturers and will be hopping aboard the Ducati Desmosedici which will be a totally new bike for him to test out and discover it’s abilities.
As seen before, Ducati seems to have the most competitive bike on the grid and is commandeered by eight different drivers. During an interview, the Spanish rider refused to give comments on the expectations that he has or hasn’t set before riding on the Ducati. Although Alex Marquez talked about his first impressions of the bike by saying how versatile it was and that the current LCR Honda rider thinks that it will be a great opportunity for him.

“ I don’t know, I don’t like to talk about a bike I haven’t tried yet. But of course a lot of riders can be fast with this bike, it seems to suit a lot of different styles. For me, it could be a great opportunity. I believe in the project, the bike and the team,” he said.
Honda hasn’t been having the best of seasons in the past years with their serious decline in performance and their golden boy Marc Marquez being out due to an injury. Alex Marquez currently sits in 18th place in the drivers standings with just 27 points to his name. With half the season over and the second half starting in the month of august, the Spaniard will be keen to put in some strong performances for his remaining races with Honda. Where do you think he will finish in the standings at the end of the year?
