Marc Marquez is hoping 'my second life starts' after his first MotoGP podium on the Ducati at the Spanish Grand Prix.
The Gresini rider scored a first pole on the Ducati at Jerez last weekend and was leading the sprint race before crashing out. In the 25-lap grand prix, he battled his way back from dropping to fourth early to fight with reigning double world champion Francesco Bagnaia on the factory Ducati for the victory. Ultimately coming away with second, it was a result that meant a lot to the eight-time world champion after badly breaking his right arm at Jerez in 2020.

'As you know if I'm there the show is there,' he said. 'Always we try. It doesn't matter where we come from because we are coming from the shit.
