Marc Marquez is fighting brother Alex Marquez from Thailand’s weekend Grand Prix. It was expected to be the first chapter in a rival within the Ducati team, but Francesco Bagnaia has been upgraded.

There were signs in the test that the younger Marquez could compete. It drives a GP24 bike to Gresini, which has the same engine as the Ducati plant.

The project team is running with a “GP24.9” at present and could stretch their advantage when MotoGP returns to Europe and start developing the motorcycle seriously. At the moment, the thought, Marquez Junior can target legally wins.

On Saturday, it was a Marquez one or two in both the qualifying and the Sprint. Mark was just tenth and a half in front of a single round.

By the end of the 13-lap sprint, the gap was less than 1.2 seconds. When they were teammates last season, six -time MotoGP champion ended over 200 points ahead (392 versus 173).

Sylvain Guintoli suspects that Marc Marquez was keeping the rate of reserve, judging by his body language. If his brother can put him under strong pressure, then he can release him.

In many cases so far this weekend, the MotoGP World power cameras have cut off Julia Marquez, the father of the two rider, watching from the garage. Mat Oxley “had a conversation” with him on Paddock after the sprint.

Alex has not yet won a race, but he has finished five times on the podium. This, however, is the first time the Marc home followed the second.

According to Oxley, it would be a “devaluation” to say that their father felt “advanced” later. He described him as a “sweet, humble man”.

Some critics may argue that Alex is only on the network due to Marc’s influence. But it proves that it is worth more than his position in the top class.

Alex Marquez may want Ducati to have stuck with the GP25 from scratch. While their long -term ceiling would have the foot leg, its immediate prospects on GP24 may have been improved.

As it is, the merged package in the factory team may have put them slightly away. Fabio di Giannantonio drives the same bike as Marquez and Bagnaia, but it will take time for the missing adapter that is missing much of the test before the season through injury.
