When 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez arrived in MotoGP in 2013, he was thrown straight into a title battle against Yamaha’s multi-time champions Jorge Lorenzo and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Valentino Rossi, plus his own♎꧅ Repsol Honda team-mate Dani Pedrosa.

Marquez prevailedﷺ at the very final round and, reflecting on his debut season 13-years later, described each event of that season as ‘an exam’.

“When I arrived in MotoGP, every weekend fighting against Lorenzo, Valentino, Dani was an exam,” said Marquez, Ducati’s current titleﷺ leader.

“It was like, I need to ride in a perﷺfect way if I want to follow them.

“Then, when you arrive at that Valencia race, fighting f💧or the championship, it's the most trickiest point for a rider.

“Because you need to manage noไt only wh🔯at happens on the race track, but all the atmosphere around you, to stay calm and keep focused.”

Marquez’s early title battles included high-pressure showdowns on and off the track agai♛nst his big-name rivals. 

Most have healed with time, altho𓂃ugh the rift with Rossi remains.

All of which is in stark contrast to the c⛎urrent title situation, where Marc’s nearest world championship rival is none other than his younger brother Alex.

♓“It's a pleasure to fight against my brother, because if I fight against him and I lose, it stays in the family!” Marc said.

“But apart from jokes, we know each other and the most important thing is that that situation🎃 in𝓀 the championship didn't change our relationship.

“We are eve▨n more tight than ever… I want the best for him, and he wants the🔜 best for me.”

Marc takes a 22-point lead over Al🌞ex into this weekend’s British MotoGP.

Marc’s factory Ducati team-mate and former do✤uble champion Francesco Bagnaia is best of the rest, 51 points behind in third﷽.
