The Marquez brothers will be reunited at the Ducati satellite team in 2024, 𝓡after Marc confirmed his intention to quit Honda.

The stakes for Marc have ꦫnow risen after his brother’s revelation about the🦄ir private conversation.

Asked if Marc can be tempted to stay longer than his initial one-year deal, Alex replied to TNT Spo♈rts: “We’ll see. The sense to have just one year is to see if 🌊he enjoys this world again. 

“He is really clever to me. Heꦇ said: ‘If I don’t enjoy it, I will retire’. It’s like this. It’s a possibility. 

“He wants to see if h🍒e can enjoy it again. If he can be fast again after his injury. 

“I have no doubt but he has his doubtsꦛ. He has reasons to have [doubts] because I had them when I was on the Honda bike last year. 

“I’m sure🍃 in Valencia he will enjoy🥀 it again - what’s in his head will disappear really fast.”

Alex, who quit LCR Honda to join Gresini Ducati a year ago, was asked if he influenced his brother’s decision: “No. Like he said,🌊 he was changing his mind, his idea, every day. 

“I said one day: ‘You are changing a lot, I will give my opinion as a brother, not as a Gresini Dᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚucati rider’. 

“He nee💦ds to change, to recover the feeling, the passion. I saw him on the Motegi p💯odium, not happy as Marc normally is. 

“He will go to a small team - that doesn’t mean we’re not professional - but it’s a small family, always together. This can🍒 help Marc to enjoy it again on the bikeꦺ and on the track.”

So, what can Mar🌟c Marquez expect from a year-old Ducati?

“A really good e♔ngine, for sure, ✅is what he can expect,” Alex said. 

“A bike that can give you a lot of feeling. He rode the same bike for 11 years soౠ he will have to change a lot of things. 

“I ch🌱anged, and I was just three years with [the Honda], so imagine 11. He is fast adapting to things. He won’t have any problems and he will be fast.”

Alex insisted that his brothe🅰r will now have the machinery to prove that he is MotoGP’s greatest rider.

“Yes, it looks like. For some years he didn’t showไ it because he was in a difficult situation. But next year he will have the opportunity to show it again.”
