In the world of motorcycling, where adrenaline and speed are the main characters, the stories behind the tracks often capture as much attention as the competitions themselves. On this occasion, Gemma Pinto, known as the romantic partner of the multi-champion Marc Márquez, has broken her silence to express her discontent about the demanding environment that the Spanish rider faced in his debut as an official member of Ducati in MotoGP.

Marc Marquez’s move to Ducati has generated a lot of excitement in the motorcycling world. However, his transition has not been easy. According to sources close to the team, Marquez has faced an intense training programme, designed to adapt to the unique and demanding style of Italian motorcycles. Although the rider is known for his talent and dedication, the change of team has meant additional pressure for the eight-time world champion.

“It is an extremely rigorous process. Sometimes I feel that they demand more than a rider can give in such a short time,” Gemma Pinto said in a recent interview. The model and influencer did not hesitate to share her concern for the physical and mental health of Márquez, who has had to deal with a series of injuries throughout his career.

Pinto also highlighted that Ducati, although one of the most successful teams in recent MotoGP history, could be pushing its riders to the limit. “I understand that the competition is fierce, but at what cost? The pressure not only affects Marc’s performance, but also his general well-being,” he said.

These statements have not only caused a stir among fans, but have also sparked a debate on social media. Some fans support Pinto’s criticism, pointing out that extreme pressure is a constant in the world of MotoGP, while others defend Ducati, arguing that excellence demands sacrifices.

Despite the difficulties, Gemma Pinto has proven to be an unconditional support for Marquez. “We are in this together. The only thing I want is for Marc to be happy and enjoy what he loves without feeling crushed by expectations,” said Pinto, making it clear that her priority is the rider’s well-being.

Gemma Pinto’s words have raised an important question: are MotoGP teams demanding too much from their riders? While motorcycling is a high-performance sport, it is also essential to find a balance between competitiveness and the health of the athletes.

Meanwhile, Marc Marquez remains focused on proving his worth with Ducati, tackling every corner with the determination that has made him a motorcycling legend. Only time will tell whether this chapter in his career will be one of the most successful or one of the most difficult.
