Older brother Marc may be leaving Gresini, but 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez recently put pen to paper on a new deal to remain at the Ital🐻ian squad for a third and fourth season at the satellite Ducati team.

I'm so happy to renew my contract,” Alex said on the eve of this weekend’s German MotoGP.

“I had in my head just this plan because they saveಞd my career in MotoGP two years ago. I feel really comfortable in this team, really appreciate it and have a really good relationsh𓄧ip with Nadia [team owner] and everyone."

Th🐽e 28-year-old moved to MotoGP as the reigning Moto2 champion, alongside brother Marc, at the factory Repsol Honda team in 2020, where he took a pair of podiums in the aftermath of the #93’s arm injuries.

Making way for Pol Espargaro in 2021, Alex then moved to LCR, where he struggled to 16th and 17th in the wor🐭ld championship before rejuvenating his career - and paving the way for Marc - with a switch to Gresꦆini last season.

Celebrating two MotoGP podiums, a Sprint win and ninth overall in his debut year on a Desmosedici, Alex currently has a best of fourth pl﷽ace on the year-old GP23 this season, for tenth place in the standings.

“We know where we need to arrive. We are struggling a little bit more this year. But I think with small changes and keep working like this, theꦿ results will arrive,” he said.

While the #73’s renewal was something of a formality, the identity of his brother’s replacement and whether Gresini will inherit ꦏany of the 2025 ‘Pramac’ factory bikes is less clear.

About the bike, it’s something 🧔that the team can answer better than me. And about my team-m♊ate, I hear already many, many names,” Alex said.

“I will not say anyone. The fastest one is the o🌌ne that I want as a team-mate. Becau𝓰se it helps the other rider to push more and to be there.

“So for me it will not chan🌺ge a lot, who will come. I have a goal, an objective and I will work myself to do it.”

Jack 🎃Miller and Miguel Oliveira are among the proven MotoGP race winners that have been linked with the Gresini seat.

Meanwhile, Marquez did admit that ꦛa two-year deal giꦬves him a sense of security.

“The motivatio🙈n, having a contract or not, will be the same for me. But you have that security in yourself to have two years and to work in a good way from the beginning.

“So if you need to risk, if you need to push for 🥃the limits you can. You can do it.”
