Aleix Espargaro has commented on Marc Marquez's Ducati progress and MotoGP title hopes
Marquez is still adjusting to his year-old Ducati but a P4 finish at the season-opener in Qatar represented progress from his drab final year with Honda.
"Marc is, without a doubt, the most talented rider in the championship,” Espargaro, who has known him since they were both children, was quoted by“We will see how long he takes to get there, but he will be one of the strongest…“The team is very familiar and pleasant. It has everything to show that it can win.”
Factory Ducati rider Bagnaia, this year riding the developed GP24, won the first grand prix of the year to begin his title defence on top.“Because winning two consecutive titles with the rivalry that exists is very difficult.Espargaro is well known to be close friends with Jorge Martin, his fellow Spaniard who missed out on the championship on the final day of 2023."He has shown very high speed from the last part of the season in 2023 until now,” Espargaro noted.
