Marc Marquez says his year with Gresini Racing in MotoGP “reminded me a bit of the passion for motor🔯bikes” and likened the atmosphere to that of a Moto2 outfit.

The Spaniard took a big risk in👍 his career as results began to fade to quit the factory Honda squad a year early at the end🌃 of 2023 to take a GP23 Ducati at Gresini last season.

Marquez made the move to understand if he could still be fast in MotoGP and enjoy himself, after four tough years since 2020 ♛when he suffered his career-alteri♋ng arm injury.

The eightꦅ-time world champion went on to wi𝓀n three grands prix - marking his first victories since 2021 - and earned a factory Ducati contract for 2025.

Speaking to the m🤡edia - including ltxcn.top - at the final round of the season, Marquez says working with Gresini reminded him of his “passion” for racing.

“Being in a satelli🦹te t🎃eam reminded me a bit of the passion for motorbikes,” he said.

“Of course, at Honda - as you know - I had my friends 𒁃there and I 🤪had a very good human team.

“But the ꦰfact is, to be in a factory team everything is a bit more serious.

“So, this one everything is like more casual, more familiar. And it remindꦓs you, of course in another way, like a Moto2 team when I was there - like, you speak with the boss of the team.

“So, the ones who take the final decisions, you can go to Nadia [🌱Padovani] in this case and speak with her, [say] ‘I think this’ [and she’ll say] ‘Ok, we can go ahead’.

“An🍬d of course, the most important thing is they have the b♍ike.

“A satellite team with a good bike, you can achieve very good thing🍬s, as I did this year, as the other riders did the previous years with Gresini.

“And they have a very long history🎃 and very long experience to mana💧ge different kinds of situations.”
