Alex Márquez Overcomes Early Struggles, Ready to Challenge Brother Marc and Champion Pecco – Austrian GP Practice | MotoGP 2025
Alex Márquez (Ducati – BK8 Gresini Racing MotoGP) showed resilience on the opening day of the Austrian Grand Prix, overcoming early difficulties to finish the session in a strong 4th place. Following a brief struggle after switching back from the Panigale, Alex regained his rhythm and closed the day with growing confidence.
🗣️ Alex Márquez:
“It was a positive day overall. I struggled a bit in the first run after riding the Panigale, but from there, everything started to feel better. We tested the hard tyre, which caused a small drop in lap time, but we quickly got back into our own rhythm.”
“The pace isn’t perfect yet, but there’s still room to close the gap to Marc and Pecco. Right now, they seem to have a bit of extra margin, but I believe we can get closer.”
