Marc Márquez made a powerful statement about the Ducati rider before the Australian GP
Marc Márquez has made some amazing and surprising declarations about Ducati rider Davide Tardozzi, ahead of the Australian GP, further fighting the tension that exists between his MotoGP rivals. Márquez, known for his frank character, was not convinced when they asked him about recent declarations from Tardozzi advising competitors not to underestimate the Honda rider in Phillip Island.
In a press conference prior to the race, Márquez recognized Tardozzi’s comments, but agreed on his own. “Tardozzi is right about one thing: he’s always in his skin and he won’t be indulgent with anyone. But let’s be clear: Ducati is strong and has a lot of wind this time. We are not playing on the same terrain at this moment”, said Márquez, referring to the superior performance of Ducati in the latest races.
The statement reflects Márquez’s confidence, but also shows frustration over the competitive gap between the Honda team and the dominant Ducatis. To relieve Ducati’s superiority, Márquez presided over his team and at the same time gave a challenge to riders like Pecco Bagnaia and his Ducati team, who demonstrated his determination to compete regardless of the circumstances.
As the Australian GP approaches, Márquez’s keen words have prepared the scenario for an intense braking, in which the rivalry between Honda and Ducati will reach new heights. Fans will be anxious to see how Márquez’s determination compares to the powerful machines of Ducati on the day of the race.
