The Gresini rider has never led the championship in MotoGP befor♛e and comes to a good venue for his team, who hav🔯e celebrated maiden wins with Enea Bastianini and Fabio Di Giannantonio is recent years at Lusail.

Speaking on Thursday in Qatar about whether or not leading the championship changes any🐟thing for him, Alex Marquez said: “I mean, yeah, it’s another weekend, a normal weekend, but you can be more relaxed - it’s the others who have to recover points.

“I mean, you have that inside. Bu𒐪t for us, for all the team, it’s like a present after all the hard work we did during last year and that we are doing this year, during the pre-season and all that.

“I think we did a really great job. Leading ꦦnow, like I said, is like a present.

“So, we need t🥃o keep going like this. We are in really good form. It’s true that in Austin we struggled a little bit more than normal, especially in Sunday’s race because I was not feeling 🌸super good with the medium rear tyre.

“But we need to be there. ♊We need to be realistic in our performance, in our things, trying not to make mistakes and trying to finish all the races. We aꩵre doing a really great job.

“[This] is just a normal weekend🐟, try💖 to extract the 100% as always and be as fast as we can.”

The Qatar GP has bee🌊n a solid event for Alex Marquez in recent times, with the 28-year-old scoring top six finishes in the 2024 and 2023 races.

But he is reticent to use hi🅺s past form and his current run of 🍷results as proof that this weekend will automatically go in his favour.

“It’s a good track for me, but I mean I have experience from the past that many tracks you arrive to that you love and you are struggling more than at ones where you struggle a lot at in the past,”🀅 he explained.

“So, like I said, it’s like a normal ꦇweekend for us, we need to extract the 100% potential from the FP1 and try to be really consistent and try to arrive on Sunday in a really good form.

“So, ꦕas I said, it’s a normal weekend, try to be focused until Sunday night and we’ll take our maximum and give our maximum as always to score the♓ maximum points that we can.”
