“Every Day, I Reminded Him”: Alex Márquez Reveals Powerful Message He Gave Brother Marc Before Ducati Move
In the world of MotoGP, few stories are as deeply intertwined as that of the Márquez brothers Marc and Alex. While both have carved out their own legacies on the track, their bond off the circuit is just as compelling. Now, with Marc Márquez officially making the leap from Gresini Racing to the prestigious Ducati factory team for the 2025 season, Alex has opened up about a personal mantra he shared with his brother daily during their time as teammates.
Speaking to the press during a recent paddock interview, Alex Márquez revealed the consistent message he gave Marc every single day before his big transition:
“Every day, I reminded him he still has it the fire, the speed, the instinct. I told him, ‘You belong at the top, and Ducati is your next throne.’”
This heartfelt encouragement wasn’t just brotherly support it was a reflection of Alex’s belief that Marc still had unfinished business at the pinnacle of MotoGP. After a challenging stint at Repsol Honda and a resurgence in form at Gresini, Marc’s decision to join the Ducati factory team was a move loaded with expectations and ambition.
Alex added, “I knew he needed to feel it again, the thrill of riding the best machine, the motivation to chase titles. I saw it in his eyes, and I made sure he never forgot it. Every single day.”
The Márquez brothers shared a memorable 2023 and 2024 season at Gresini, rekindling their childhood dreams of racing side-by-side in MotoGP. But as Marc heads into a new chapter with the reigning champions Ducati, Alex remains proud not only as a fellow rider but as a brother who witnessed the rebirth of a champion.
Now, all eyes turn to 2025, as Marc Márquez dons the red of Ducati and sets his sights on a return to MotoGP glory armed with talent, experience, and the unwavering voice of his brother echoing in his mind: “You still have it.”
