In a recent interview, Ezpeleta described the Spanish rider as one of the most important figures in the history of the competition and highlighted the extraordinary fight Marquez has put in to return to the championship fight.
“Yes, Marc is a vital figure, I agree. Marc is without a doubt one of the best riders in history,” commented Ezpeleta. These words reflect not only recognition of Márquez’s talent, but also admiration for his perseverance after several seasons of injuries and challenges. Throughout his career, Márquez has faced serious falls and complex surgeries, but he has shown a level of determination that has allowed him to return to the tracks and continue fighting for victories and titles.
Dorna boss Ezpeleta emphasised the magnitude of what Marquez has done in trying to return to the elite of world motorcycling. “What he has done, what he has fought for, what he has tried to get back to competition, really with the possibility of winning races again, winning titles again,” said Ezpeleta, highlighting the rider’s ability to maintain motivation and competitiveness after his difficult times.
Ezpeleta also expressed confidence that Marquez will surpass the achievements of his rivals after his move to Ducati Lenovo in the 2024 season. This move, which has generated great expectations in the world of motorcycling, could be the springboard that allows him to recover his champion form and seek new victories and titles in a team that has proven to be one of the most competitive in recent years.
“I am sure that many other riders, who have had the career and success that Marc has had, will soon be lost and we must have great respect for what Marc has done because it is an extraordinary human work,” said Ezpeleta. This statement not only underlines the effort of Márquez, but also the enormous admiration that the director of Dorna has for him, who recognises the human and sporting dimension of the Catalan rider.
Ezpeleta also anticipated that Marquez’s return with Ducati Lenovo in 2024 will bring with it a renewed focus on the MotoGP World Championship. The Dorna boss stated that 2025 will be a key year for Marquez, as all eyes will be on his ability to return to the championship fight. “Marc is a spectacular asset to the MotoGP World Championship on and off the track. I am sure that next year there will be a lot of attention on him and a lot of expectations,” concluded Ezpeleta.
With these statements, it is made clear that despite the obstacles that Marquez has faced in his career, his return and his ability to generate expectations continue to be one of the main motivating forces within the MotoGP paddock. All eyes will be on the Spanish rider as he prepares for a new chapter in his illustrious career with Ducati, hoping to recapture the glory of his golden era. Without a doubt, Marc Marquez’s future promises to be as exciting as his past.
