EXCLUSIVE: Insights into Marc Marquez's new look and branding for the offseason test

Information on Marc Marquez's first appearance with the factory Ducati team this Tuesday, reported by Lewis Duncan

Information has come to light regarding the color scheme and branding of Marc Marquez's factory Ducati during the MotoGP postseason test held on Tuesday.

A year after his initial appearance with Ducati during the post-2024 season test in Valencia with the Gresini team, Marquez is set to join the factory team's garage this Tuesday.

According to information obtained by Crash.net, Marquez is set to participate in Tuesday's event wearing factory team colors. However, his motorcycle and his racing suit will not feature any branding, except for the Michelin logo and other neutral sponsor logos.

Marquez is associated with Red Bull as an athlete, whereas the official Ducati team is linked with Monster Energy.

There are additional conflicts with sponsors, including Marquez's connection with Samsung, which is at odds with Ducati's main sponsorship deal with Lenovo.

At this point, it is uncertain what the future holds for Marquez’s personal sponsors, including Red Bull, which have played a crucial role in supporting him through the challenging initial period of his recovery from the arm fracture he sustained at the 2020 Spanish Grand Prix.

During the previous year’s test session in Valencia with the Gresini team, Marquez rode a GP23 motorcycle. The bike did not feature the team’s colors, and his leathers showcased only his personal sponsors.

Last year, Marquez's initial trial on the Ducati created significant buzz, as his debut with the official team is anticipated to be a major discussion topic this week.

Ducati's team manager, Davide Tardozzi, has taken steps to temper the high hopes surrounding Marquez's potential performance on the motorcycle.

Tardozzi expressed to Crash.net that their sole anticipation is to collaborate and become familiar with one another.

On Tuesday, there won't be any victories to celebrate. The focus should be on putting in the effort. The person who leads on Tuesday evening won't necessarily be the champion the following year.

During the summer, Marquez entered into a two-year contract with Ducati to compete alongside Francesco Bagnaia, a two-time world champion. He declined an opportunity to ride a factory GP25 for Pramac.

Due to strategic maneuvering, Jorge Martin has joined Aprilia, with the Spanish rider becoming part of the Italian team as the current world champion.

Throughout the season, Marquez has been racing on the GP23 with the Gresini team and has successfully secured victories in three grand prix events.

However, on Tuesday in Barcelona, he will have the opportunity to experience Ducati's GP24, the motorcycle that clinched this year's championship, as well as the prototype GP25, both for the first time.

Barcelona MotoGP Rider Evaluations: Terrible Marks for a Pair of Aprilia Competitors

Crash.net provides an analysis of the performance ratings for each MotoGP rider at the final race of the season, the Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP.

Here are our evaluations of the riders following the Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP, where five participants received scores under five.

Francesco Bagnaia – 9

Francesco Bagnaia had an outstanding performance in Barcelona, possibly showcasing his best weekend of the season. Despite an unusual crash during the start practice in FP1 at the first turn, he made very few errors throughout the event. He expertly managed the Sprint race and similarly kept Marc Marquez in check during the Grand Prix, even using a rear tire that, after Saturday's sessions, was not widely regarded as a viable choice for the race.

However, he drops his 10 because he began Sunday as the World Champion and finished it as an ex-champion. There was little he could do on Sunday, but maybe that's the issue — it should have never reached that point, and he had the power to stop it from happening.

Marc Marquez – 8

By his usual exceptional standards, Marc Marquez often struggles at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. His only truly commanding performance at this track occurred in 2019 when his competitors eliminated each other, and during the Saturday session in 2016 after the track layout was altered mid-weekend.

It's quite odd, actually, since one would assume that a low-traction surface like Barcelona's would ideally complement Marquez's approach.

On Saturday, the Sprint race at the Catalan track highlighted Marquez's vulnerabilities. However, by Sunday, he skillfully handled a soft rear tire to remind Bagnaia that even with Jorge Martin moving to Aprilia next season, securing the 2025 championship won't be a straightforward task for the Italian.

Marc Marquez described his second-place finish in the season's final Grand Prix as the ideal conclusion to his tenure with Gresini. Additionally, this result allowed him to surpass Enea Bastianini and secure third place in the championship standings.

Jorge Martin – 9

Although typically two third-place finishes wouldn't earn Jorge Martin a score of nine, this weekend was an exception. He secured the championship without ever appearing at risk of losing it.

Throughout all of 2024, Martin remained largely unaffected by the stress of the situation. He consistently positioned himself in ways that would not jeopardize his chance at securing his first top-tier championship title.

Why not give him a perfect score of 10? The reason is that he didn't come in first place in the race

Alex Marquez – 8

Achieving a fourth-place finish is likely the best outcome Alex Marquez can expect, considering the noticeable disadvantage of the Desmosedici GP23 compared to the GP24. This is especially true given that one of the GP23 bikes is being ridden by his renowned brother.

Marquez's performance is not at the peak of his potential, especially when conditions are ideal for him. However, finishing the season with two consecutive fourth-place results is a solid finish to what has occasionally been a lackluster second season with Gresini for Marquez.

Aleix Espargaro – 7.5

Aleix Espargaro wrapped up his MotoGP journey by securing fifth position, but the overall experience felt somewhat underwhelming.

On Saturday, taking a lap on his vintage 2005 125cc bike was quite a spectacle, and his impressive performance in Q2 secured him the second spot on the grid. However, his starts were lackluster, and honestly, this reporter isn't particularly thrilled about the idea of assisting Martin in winning the title.

However, if that's the way he chose to end things, that's his decision. Ultimately, Martin was well beyond requiring the help that Espargaro was willing to offer.

Brad Binder – 7

The KTM team faced a challenging weekend in Barcelona. Their bike struggled with cornering, and the qualifying session was a complete fiasco. Additionally, Pedro Acosta experienced a mishap when his fairing was torn off during the first lap of the Sprint race. Despite these setbacks, Brad Binder managed to secure a position within the top six.

Binder showcased a remarkable comeback in both races. While he has already gained a reputation for such feats, moving from 18th to ninth place in the Sprint and then from 18th to sixth in the Grand Prix is commendable, even by the South African's standards.

Binder's achievement also allowed him to surpass Acosta for fifth place in the riders' rankings, making him the highest-ranking competitor not riding a Ducati. However, it also marked his third consecutive year without securing a Grand Prix win.

Enea Bastianini – 6.5

When considering Enea Bastianini's performance in MotoGP, his skill in conserving tires and finishing races strongly often comes to mind. However, his abilities in Sprint races might not be the first thing you associate with him.

Bastianini concluded his tenure as a factory Ducati racer by achieving a remarkable feat: securing a spot on the podium in seven consecutive Sprint races, capped off by finishing in second place on Saturday. This accomplishment is both impressive and unexpected.

His Grand Prix might not have been any of those things. It ended up being a source of frustration and disappointment when Bastianini ruined his race by cutting through the chicane during a duel with Aleix Espargaro and was unable to bounce back from the mistake.

Though his involvement in the podium competition might not have significantly impacted the outcome, he offered little support to Bagnaia in the championship battle during this final race. As Espargaro mentioned post-race, ending up seven seconds behind the winner while riding a factory Ducati in 2024 raises questions.

Franco Morbidelli – 6

Franco Morbidelli is set to continue for another year with the Desmosedici GP24. However, if his initial performance is any indication, the 2025 season might not be particularly exciting for the rider who has claimed victory three times in the premier class.

The Italian's season concluded in a manner consistent with how it had progressed overall: it wasn't terrible, but it also lacked the speed of the other GP24s.

Marco Bezzecchi – 6.5

Marco Bezzecchi, who will take over Franco Morbidelli's spot at the VR46 team next year, finished just after him. Ending his stint with VR46 on a ninth-place note, a team he evidently cherishes, likely wasn't the result Bezzecchi had hoped for this weekend. Throughout the event, the Italian racer occasionally displayed flashes of promise that hinted at a stronger performance.

Despite his efforts, he couldn't secure a qualifying position better than the third row, which effectively diminished his opportunity to compete for strong placements by Saturday lunchtime.

In positive developments for Bezzecchi, he is set to join Aprilia as a factory rider on Tuesday. However, the idea of partnering with Jorge Martin, who secured 32 podium finishes this season, might be somewhat intimidating for Bezzecchi, considering he achieved just one podium spot in 2024.

Pedro Acosta – 6

After securing the 10th spot in Barcelona, Pedro Acosta mentioned experiencing issues with his brakes. This conclusion to his debut season was consistent with how the latter part of his season had unfolded overall.

At the beginning of 2024, Acosta played a crucial role in the initial races, but as the year progressed into the latter half, he has taken on a more secondary role.

It's challenging to place all the blame on him, given Ducati's increasing dominance. However, the end of the season has been disappointing for him, as illustrated by the events of the last weekend. He didn't finish the Sprint race after colliding with Marc Marquez on the first lap and secured a 10th-place finish in the Grand Prix, seemingly due to brake issues.

Fabio Quartararo received a rating of 6.5. While Yamaha appeared to improve during the overseas races, the final race of the season in Barcelona seemed to suggest the opposite.

Kudos to Quartararo for his remarkable performance in the Sprint, where he competed fiercely against Morbidelli, Marc Marquez, and Bezzecchi. Despite his efforts, a final lap overtake by Binder pushed him out of the points.

In the Grand Prix, he just wasn't fast enough, which might have been partly due to his decision to use the hard-compound rear tire, as it appeared to give him no benefit throughout the 24-lap race.

Miguel Oliveira – 6.5

Miguel Oliveira's final performance for Trackhouse ended in a somewhat disappointing 12th place. However, considering it was his first competition since September, he showed remarkable consistency and notably outperformed his teammate, Raul Fernandez.

Jack Miller – 4

While KTM had a tough time in Barcelona, Jack Miller's experience was even worse. During his media briefing on Saturday, he bluntly referred to his Sprint performance as "terrible."

Struggling with maneuverability and lacking traction at the back, Miller had a poor qualifying session and didn't perform much better in the race, marking a disappointing conclusion to his stint with KTM.

From a historical perspective, hopping onto a Yamaha should have instantly resolved those cornering issues on a Tuesday. However, it's no longer 2018.

Johann Zarco – 6.5

Throughout the 2024 season, Johann Zarco has consistently excelled in qualifying sessions, particularly towards the latter part of the year. He has frequently succeeded in securing a spot for the Honda RC213V in Q2.

Once more on Friday, he ended up in fourth position during Practice, but that turned out to be the highlight of his weekend.

Zarco concluded his debut complete season riding for Honda in 14th place. Despite this, he distinctly positioned himself as the leading Honda rider, solidifying his status in that role.

Maverick Vinales – 3

Maverick Vinales finished his race with Aprilia in the 15th position, trailing his official team partner, Espargaro, by 17 seconds. Overall, it was a disappointing performance for the Spanish rider, who is set to join Tech3.

Luca Marini – 5.5

Luca Marini's remarkable composure while handling the RC213V this season stands out as one of the most notable achievements in MotoGP.

Marini's performance has not been as notable, particularly when set against Zarco. On Saturday, the Italian acknowledged that Zarco is employing a "unique" approach to gain additional speed on the Honda.

Takaaki Nakagami – 5.5

During the Friday morning's first practice session for MotoGP in Barcelona, Takaaki Nakagami managed to secure the fastest time. His impressive final lap on a new tire paid off, serving as a reminder to all that he was actively competing.

It's unfortunate that Nakagami, who appears to be a quite well-liked racer, got very little television coverage over the weekend. The only exception was a brief moment at the end of FP1, whereas Espargaro, another rider retiring, garnered a significant amount of attention.

Espargaro has a more impressive track record in MotoGP compared to Nakagami. However, the broadcast subtly transitioned Nakagami into his new HRC development position without much fanfare, while Espargaro's retirement took center stage throughout the weekend.

Regarding Nakagami's performance, it was satisfactory: he secured 17th place in both races.

Raul Fernandez – 3

This weekend, Raul Fernandez switched back to the 2023 aerodynamics used by Aprilia, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference. As the only rider confirmed to continue with the Noale-based team for 2025, Fernandez finished 18th in the Grand Prix. He was 29 seconds behind the winner, seven seconds behind the underperforming Vinales, and 17 seconds behind his teammate Oliveira. This performance comes at a circuit where he previously led laps during the Catalan Sprint six months ago.

Augusto Fernandez – 4

Augusto Fernandez entered Barcelona with a hopeful outlook after securing a 10th place finish at Sepang just two weeks prior. Was his performance in Malaysia a significant milestone, or merely a temporary success?

If you thought the answer was 'breakthrough,' you'd be mistaken. Fernandez returned to his usual performance style this weekend, finishing in 19th place, which is typical for someone ranked towards the lower end of the top 20. This came after an incredibly unusual collision with his teammate, Acosta, during the first practice session (FP1), which resulted in a red flag being issued.

The most aggravating aspect of Fernandez's year, aside from his performance, is likely Yamaha's unexplained delay in naming him as a test rider for the 2025 season.

Michele Pirro – 6

This weekend, Michele Pirro aimed to prepare himself for the post-race test scheduled for Tuesday. Therefore, experiencing a crash just five minutes into the first free practice session on Friday morning likely wasn't part of his strategy.

However, other than that, he practically made no mistakes, which is essentially the most you can hope for from a substitute rider.

Alex Rins – 2.5

It was a challenging weekend for Alex Rins, who ended up in 21st place during the race. He only managed to finish ahead of Stefan Bradl. This result came after he received a double long lap penalty for failing to complete the initial single long lap penalty he was given for cutting the chicane between turns 1 and 2.

Stefan Bradl – 6

Similar to Pirro, Bradl participated primarily to prepare for Tuesday's testing session. His performance wasn't outstanding, but it was satisfactory. Additionally, his Team HRC bike sported an impressive livery.

Joan Mir – 4

Joan Mir concluded the Barcelona GP in a familiar fashion during his stint with Repsol Honda: by crashing out. He faced issues with rear tyre vibrations on Saturday, which also hindered his performance, leaving him without a solid Sprint result to rely on.

In the first qualifying session, he performed reasonably well. However, he narrowly missed securing one of the two spots for the second qualifying session, being edged out by Fabio Quartararo. This, nevertheless, was a positive indication that Mir still possesses some speed.

In August 2024, Alex became a member of the Crash.net team after spending two years reporting on consumer and racing motorcycle news at Visordown.

Francesco Bagnaia remarked, "I accomplished what was necessary" – Martin "seems anxious, which is understandable."

"He appeared rather anxious, and that's to be expected. However, I believe he's capable of handling the pressure well during the race."

Defending MotoGP titleholder Francesco Bagnaia achieved what was necessary by securing pole position and winning the Sprint race at the concluding Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP event of the season.

This has set the stage for a championship-deciding race on Sunday against the current leader in the world

Following a brief setback to Martin and Enea Bastianini at the race's first turn, Bagnaia quickly overtook both riders and maintained the lead thereafter.

Bastianini, his teammate, executed a final-lap maneuver on Martin, snatching away the Spaniard's second-place position.

"I slightly miscalculated the initial braking, leaving too much space, which allowed both of them to pass me," Bagnaia explained.

"At that point, my speed was sufficient to create a lead and simply relish the experience. I was extending the lead without exerting too much effort. Thus, all was well.

"Looking ahead to tomorrow, adjustments will be necessary, particularly with the replacement of the back tire. The current soft tire is excessively soft, which might lead to issues during the final laps."

"Besides that, I accomplished what was necessary: securing the pole position and then coming out on top in the Sprint."

"I was optimistic about having a wider selection of competitors, yet we're aware of our current capabilities and our consistent performance throughout the season. Despite any challenges one of us faced, we secured a second-place finish, demonstrating that we operate on a superior level."

"I believe Enea performed exceptionally well today. However, for tomorrow, I'm expecting an additional effort."

Certainly, Martin continues to hold a strong position, as finishing third in the Sprint has given the Pramac racer a 19-point lead going into Sunday.

This implies that even if Bagnaia secures his eleventh victory of the season, Martin finishing in ninth place would suffice for him to secure his inaugural title in the premier class.

However, the stress implies that it may not be as straightforward as it seems for the #89.

"When asked whether tomorrow's scenario presents a mental challenge, Bagnaia responded, 'Not for me, but it does for him.'"

"I vividly recall back in 2022 [when Bagnaia was defending a 23-point advantage], and it seems to me that Jorge is feeling the pressure somewhat."

Throughout the entire weekend, it was noticeable that he was quite anxious, which is a typical reaction. However, I believe that when he is in the midst of a race, he handles the pressure quite effectively.

"Today, he performed exceptionally well, having begun the race from the second row and ultimately securing a place on the podium."

"I believe it won't be too difficult [for him] tomorrow."

Bagnaia is aware that Aprilia's leading rider, Aleix Espargaro, might help Martin during the race if the opportunity presents itself, as he has previously given Martin a slipstream during the qualifying rounds.

"Bagnaia expressed amazement at their bond, and he also mentioned that Jorge is set to join Aprilia next year, with the team aiming to have the top rider in their garage."

"Therefore, [Aleix] will never go on the offensive against Jorge or pass him. It's something I need to be aware of.

"Regarding what's to come tomorrow, it will unfold as it's meant to."

"However, I anticipate a race similar to today's: Jorge effortlessly leading while avoiding any risks, and he possesses a significant advantage since even if I secure a victory, he can still place 9th."

"This presents a challenging scenario for me, akin to what I experienced in 2022."

Bastianini, a team-mate, is currently engaged in a competition with Marc Marquez for the third position in the global championship.

For two decades, Peter has witnessed the ebb and flow of the racing world, including the rise and departure of Valentino Rossi. He's leading the coverage on Suzuki's withdrawal and the challenges Marc Marquez faces with his injuries.

Marc Marquez shares his insights and recommendations for the two contenders battling for the championship in Barcelona

Marc Marquez comments on the significance of Sunday's race

Following the promise of a leading position at the start during the qualifiers, Marc Marquez faced a return to reality in the Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP Sprint.

Battling to find his rhythm during his last outing with Gresini, the eight-time world champion indicated on Friday that achieving a top five finish seemed like the most he could hope for.

Assistance from the current champion and soon-to-be teammate Francesco Bagnaia helped Marquez secure a spot on the front row during the qualifying round, a feat he confessed was 'unreal'.

An encounter with Pedro Acosta during the initial turns of the Sprint resulted in Marquez ending up in seventh place, which is where he ultimately finished.

Despite the absence of complications, Marquez believed his capabilities were fully stretched.

"After making it through qualifications, I felt somewhat hopeful. However, following the Sprint race, especially due to the challenging initial lap, we ended up back where we started," Marquez stated, dismissing any notion of damage to his motorcycle from the collision.

"Our speed puts us in the range of 5th to 10th place, and we finished in 7th. To be frank, if it weren't for the initial lap, we would have been in 6th place, but no higher."

"For tomorrow, there's a need for enhancement; otherwise, the race will seem endlessly extended."

He stated, "My battle isn't with the motorcycle; it's with the track itself."

"In May, the sensation was quite decent. I was able to sense the track's boundary, but this weekend, I find myself beginning from a contrasting stance. Gradually, I'm making efforts to enhance my competitiveness, yet I'm facing difficulties."

Marquez's struggles have resulted in him dropping to fourth in the global rankings, falling behind Enea Bastianini by a margin of five points as they approach the season's concluding grand prix.

Bastianini secured the second-place spot, flanked by Bagnaia and Jorge Martin, in the Sprint race.

When asked about the upcoming championship showdown on Sunday, where Martin just needs to finish in ninth place to secure the title if Bagnaia emerges victorious, Marquez commented:

"I believe securing the ninth position for Jorge should be straightforward, but then again, anything can happen in racing."

What guidance did he offer?

"Pecco must replicate his performance from today… And Jorge must do the same!" Marquez said with a laugh.

Martin simply has to secure a spot among the top nine in the race to clinch the championship, regardless of whether Bagnaia takes first place.

Bagnaia needs to secure victory in the race and wishes for Martin to end up in 10th place or worse

Bagnaia has secured the pole position to start from, at a minimum. Martin finds himself in the fourth spot on the starting lineup.

Bagnaia transformed his pole position into a win during Saturday's sprint race, with Martin securing third place.

Ducati team's Bagnaia is currently upholding his championship status, having secured victories in the last two consecutive seasons.

Pramac's Martin is competing for his inaugural championship. He fell short on the last day of the previous season to Bagnaia.

This year, they've operated with similar equipment, even though Martin was part of a Ducati satellite team.

If Martin secures the championship, he will bring the top spot to Aprilia the following year.

He chose to leave Ducati when they preferred Marc Marquez over him for the official 2025 racing seat.

Jorge Martin: "I'm committed to securing the championship"

"Should a situation arise on the final lap, it's crucial for me to manage the risk and avoid conflict. However, I'm prepared to take necessary actions to clinch the championship."

Jorge Martin's opportunity to clinch the 2024 MotoGP championship faded as competitor Francesco Bagnaia triumphed in the Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP Sprint.

Martin aimed to surpass Bagnaia by a margin of two points to clinch the title prematurely; however, he ended up losing five points to his competitor when Enea Bastianini, riding the counterpart Lenovo Ducati, overtook Martin on the final lap, demoting him to third place.

Beginning from the fourth position, Martin made a bold move for the lead at the first turn, yet found himself trailing the red bikes following the initial bends.

The Spanish rider engaged in a series of exchanges with Bastianini, the same competitor he had a notable collision with during the final lap at Misano, eventually securing the second position.

However, he was unable to catch up to Bagnaia and instead, was overtaken by a surprising move from Bastianini at Turn 5. This unforeseen maneuver had Martin in disbelief, yet he subsequently acknowledged Bastianini's 'incredible performance'.

The Sprint was filled with anxiety. Initially, I felt uneasy about which tyres to select, especially after hearing that Pecco opted for a hard front tyre. The decision became more doubtful for me because of his last-minute switch in Malaysia.

Ultimately, I turned inward and asked, 'which is the optimal tire for the race, medium'. Thus, I chose the medium, though admittedly, towards the end, it was somewhat pushing the boundaries.

"I began on a good note, though perhaps I was overly hopeful going into the first corner. Then, Enea overtook me, causing a bit of chaos! Following that, I engaged in a duel with him. This cost us some time and the opportunity to catch up with Pecco.

"I believe I could have accelerated more, but battling with Enea wore out my tyres significantly. Nonetheless, I did everything I could while managing the risks sensibly, and securing a podium position today was indeed a great achievement."

Bastianini's last maneuver took me by surprise. I could hear his motorcycle from a considerable distance back, and I initially thought he might be losing control. That prompted me to slow down a bit, readying myself to veer towards the track's edge if necessary.

"He performed exceptionally well. He's engaged in his own competition against Marc, so I get what he's going through, and I'm looking forward to a great race tomorrow. I aim to have fun and figure out how to step up my competitiveness."

Martin enters the season's 40th and ultimate race holding a 19-point advantage over Bagnaia. This means that Martin just needs to secure a spot in the top nine to clinch the title, even if the current champion, Bagnaia, emerges victorious.

Martin explained, "I believe the approach should remain consistent, aiming for a place on the podium. I must manage the risks better, yet today's competition with Enea really helped keep my focus throughout."

"The objective here is to remain focused, take pleasure in the process, and certainly, if any unforeseen events occur in the final lap, I must manage the risk and avoid getting involved in a conflict."

"I will undertake necessary actions to claim this title."

Considering his lead in points, Martin's most significant challenge this Sunday could very well be psychological.

He confessed, "Following the qualification, I was filled with anxiety; I barely managed to eat anything today. That left me quite jittery, but then I attempted to get some rest, took a cold shower, and by the time the race came around, I felt remarkably calm. I was in a good place.

"I was curious to gauge my emotions throughout the race, and once I'm cycling, everything seems to fall into place. The sensation is present.

"The only aspect left to decide upon is the tire selection for tomorrow. It seems likely that everyone will make similar decisions. Essentially, the plan is to emulate what our competitors do and go from there."

The strategy is to stick to the usual routine tomorrow. I aim to give my all, and depending on how things stand towards the end, I'll either maintain my lead or, if necessary, increase my efforts. It all hinges on how circumstances unfold.

"It's challenging for me, and it's challenging for Pecco as well. However, if I manage to clinch this championship, it will truly be an emotional moment."

The upcoming Grand Prix on Sunday will mark the final race for Martin and the Pramac team in partnership with Ducati.

Martin is set to team up with Aprilia for the upcoming season and aims to secure the top spot, meanwhile, Pramac will be transitioning to Yamaha.

For two decades, Peter has been a constant presence in the racing circuit, witnessing the rise and departure of Valentino Rossi. Currently, he's leading the coverage on Suzuki’s withdrawal and the challenges Marc Marquez faces with his injuries.

Pedro Acosta criticizes Marc Marquez for unnecessary contact during Barcelona MotoGP sprint race

"He approached it as if it were a regular lap"

Pedro Acosta stated that Marc Marquez's maneuver to pass him during the MotoGP Solidarity Grand Prix sprint, which led to a collision ending their race, was "unnecessary."

During the initial turns of Saturday's 12-lap sprint, the Tech3 racer had advanced to fourth position before he and Marquez collided while navigating through Turn 3.

Acosta, positioned on the inside, collided with Marquez, who was moving faster on the outer track, resulting in the front fairing of the Tech3 GASGAS being torn away.

Consequently, Acosta had to bow out after completing the first lap, registering his 13th failure to score points in his debut season.

During a media session on Saturday night, which included representatives from Crash.net, Acosta expressed his disapproval of Marquez's tactics.

"Annoyingly difficult two turns," remarked Acosta.

"We don't even begin the competition. It's challenging to make any comments about the race."

"Once more, as the weekend unfolded, we found ourselves performing well, truly feeling like we were in sync and keeping up the momentum."

"Due to external factors, we ended up with another zero. That's just the way things are."

"I didn't notice anyone around until Marc struck me. I was completely on the inside right, and he came at it as if it were a regular lap, while I was positioned in the center.

"He entered as though the track was empty. I won't comment on whose fault it was, but it occurred at the third corner, on the first lap. There was no need for such an aggressive move. It happened, and that's all there is to it. That's just how racing goes."

Acosta dismissed the notion that the occurrence stemmed from the presence of dual paths leading from Turn 2 to Turn 3, comparing it to the contentious encounter between Alex Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia at Aragon.

"He added, "I believe that's not the case, as I was truly ahead."

"In the second turn, Marc trailed behind me, as did [Franco] Morbidelli."

"Alright, he managed to maintain a higher velocity. Regardless, I was right there. Alright, due to his increased speed, he passed me and as he began to narrow the track, I collided like so.

"I found myself completely hunched over, unable to view the exterior. This situation mirrored what Alex and Pecco experienced in Aragon. Ultimately, I emerged at the forefront."

On Saturday in Barcelona, Acosta stood out as the top-performing KTM rider, securing the sixth position in qualifying, with Brad Binder being the next highest-placed RC16 rider in 18th position. Consequently, he believed the sprint race presented an opportunity for a strong finish.

"He made it clear that numerous possibilities existed," he stated.

In FP2, our progress was impressive, and using the medium rear, we felt confident about our ability to maintain a strong race pace.

"I felt slightly more apprehensive about the tough start, but once I warmed up and did a couple of laps, everything felt pretty good. That's all there is to it."

The officials decided not to penalize anyone for the incident, as Marquez finished seventh in the 12-lap race.

He informed the press that he was "battling the track" and that a sixth-place finish was the best outcome he could have anticipated for his Gresini-operated GP23, had he not collided with Acosta in the first lap.

Marquez verified that the collision caused him no harm.

Fabio Quartararo expressed that he could have achieved a quicker time during the Barcelona MotoGP Sprint, stating, "I believe we had the capability to perform better, although we were severely hampered by a lack of power and grip…"

Fabio Quartararo ended up in a disappointing 10th place in the Barcelona MotoGP Sprint, engaging in a tough fight with a number of Ducati racers during the latter part of the competition.

Quartararo missed securing the last available point during the race's final lap after being overtaken by Brad Binder. Prior to this, he had been competing against Marc Marquez, Franco Morbidelli, and Marco Bezzecchi for a spot among the top eight.

"Quartararo stated, 'In essence, his argument won't alter the course of this race in any way.'"

"Indeed, we possessed the speed to outpace them, yet we were unmistakably hindered, preventing me from overtaking, regrettably."

"However, I believe there was significant potential, yet it lacked the necessary strength and traction to effectively compete with them."

Quartararo at least believed his showing improved compared to his race at the same track during the Catalan Grand Prix in May.

"Quartararo expressed some satisfaction, noting it was good to have Marc [Marquez] not far behind him, despite Marquez encountering a problem at the third corner."

"We're unable to attempt any passings, the move I made on [Marco] Bezzecchi isn't a standard passing maneuver: it's essentially risking it all, uncertain if I'll make contact with him or not, so it's not a true passing."

"Hence, it's challenging due to our reduced pace and even lesser traction. Efforts are being made to address these issues, yet this circuit places high demands on both these elements."

Rins expressed his disappointment, stating, "We couldn't achieve the optimal configuration for myself." Alex Rins' performance took a hit right at the beginning as he fell to the rear of the pack after getting entangled in the disturbance Quartararo referred to involving Marc Marquez at turn three.

Marquez collided with Pedro Acosta, causing Acosta's bike's front fairing to be torn off and leading to his withdrawal from the race, while Rins had to navigate around the wreckage, falling to the back of the pack as a result.

"Rins explained, 'For two corners, I was behind Acosta's fairing, dodging, which caused me to fall back to the last place.'"

"From that point on, the race actually went pretty well for me; I managed to move up six spots and was feeling quite confident. However, by the time I caught up to [Luca] Marini, my tyres were completely worn out."

"I attempted to pass him and managed to lead for a lap, but upon reaching the first corner, I ended up going straight due to locking the front brakes, which prevented me from doing anything further."

Rins faced similar challenges to Quartararo, primarily struggling with insufficient rear grip, yet he managed to maintain a respectable speed despite this.

"In general, during this Grand Prix, we're facing difficulties, but I'm discovering how to overcome them," he stated.

"We're facing challenges with grip, particularly at the back, but despite that, I'm managing to maintain times in the low-1:40s, dipping into the high-1:39s. So, looking ahead to tomorrow, if fortune is on our side and I manage to secure a strong start in the first lap, I believe we can aim for a decent finish, potentially between 10th and 13th place. I'm actually feeling pretty confident — wherever the bike falls short, I'm pushing myself to the limit."

Rins, in reference to how he stacks up against his teammate Quartararo, mentioned, "When I look at how I match up with Fabio [Quartararo] at this venue, it doesn't seem too bad. However, I'm still somewhat confused about my setup."

"After the race ends, I convey the same message to my engineers, identical to what I mentioned in Qatar."

"This year, we couldn't discover the appropriate configuration that suited me."

"Frankly, I'm pushing the bike too hard. I'm not able to just go with the rhythm. This is a downside, as I'm demanding too much from the tyres and ending up making more errors."

"Not having the bike with you makes it more difficult."

In August 2024, Alex became a part of the Crash.net team after spending two years at Visordown, where he focused on reporting about consumer and racing motorcycle news.

The competitor facing the toughest challenge in the 2024 MotoGP title race

A competitor finds themselves sandwiched in the clash between Bagnaia and Martin

The battle for the 2024 MotoGP championship will come down to the season's last race, the Solidarity Grand Prix on Sunday, thanks to Francesco Bagnaia's triumph in the sprint race, which sustained his championship aspirations.

Before heading back to Barcelona for this weekend’s race, Pramac's Jorge Martin was at the top of the leaderboard, holding a 24-point lead over Bagnaia.

To secure the championship on Saturday, Martin had to surpass Bagnaia by a mere two points, however, he was relegated to third place during the final lap of the sprint by Enea Bastianini.

Bagnaia, who is part of the same Ducati team as Bastianini, secured a victory in the sprint race, reducing the difference in the standings to 19 points ahead of Sunday's 24-lap grand prix.

Several competitors in Barcelona on Saturday have contributed to the championship battle.

Bagnaia successfully assisted Marc Marquez in securing the third position on the grid during qualifying, with Aleix Espargaro achieving second place. He did this while allowing his good friend Martin to use him as a guide, helping place Martin's Pramac-operated GP24 in the fourth spot.

Bastianini hadn't considered the championship in his approach to the race when he passed Martin on the final lap, yet this maneuver might turn out to be crucial, depending on the outcomes of Sunday's event.

Franco Morbidelli, who races alongside Martin at Pramac, inadvertently became entangled in the championship fight when he ended up trailing Marquez and Bagnaia during the second qualifying session.

Morbidelli was close to achieving a lap time that could have relegated Martin to fifth position on the starting grid, yet it was the Italian who ultimately secured that spot.

During the sprint, Morbidelli was engaged in a close contest for the podium positions, competing alongside Bastianini and Martin.

In the competitive arena, Morbidelli finds himself in a distinctive situation: he shares a team with one contender for the championship, whereas another competitor for the title is his colleague from the VR46 Academy.

"Indeed, it's challenging," Morbidelli admitted during an inquiry from Crash.net regarding his management of the circumstances.

"Additionally, pursuing Jorge today proved to be challenging."

"This is truly significant, and I prefer not to be involved in any way."

"Currently, I'm not competing for the title, so I prefer not to be involved in that contest. Instead, I find myself in the unique spot of being an observer to the battle."

He stated: "My goal was to pass Enea. I'm not here to cover for anyone. I have no interest in pretending or taking on a role. I just want to race on my own terms. I refuse to act out any part in this."

When questioned about potentially surpassing Martin if the opportunity presented itself, he responded affirmatively, saying, "Yes, in that scenario too."

When questioned about overtaking Bagnaia, he responded identically, saying, "Yes, indeed. That's the spot to aim for."

Johann Zarco expressed mild frustration, acknowledging it as somewhat expected, following a decrease in pace at the Barcelona MotoGP.

"Performing excellently is still pushing the motorcycle to its absolute limits…"

Johann Zarco moved straight into Q2 during Friday's Practice session at the Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP, yet felt let down as he couldn't replicate his previous day's performance in the actual Q2 session on Saturday morning.

Zarco finished Friday in fourth place with a time of 1:39.197, but dropped to 12th-fastest in Q2 with a time of 1:39.494.

Zarco conveyed his frustration over not being able to replicate his Friday lap time, attributing it to the narrow leeway he experiences with the Honda RC213V during attempts to push for a singular lap.

"Zarco mentioned, 'There was this restriction on the bike during qualifying, preventing me from bettering my lap time; in fact, I performed slightly poorer today.'"

Admittedly, I felt somewhat frustrated, which is understandable. Even when you perform exceptionally well, you're pushing the bike to its limits. Achieving that level of performance is possible, but consistently replicating it poses a challenge.

Zarco's rapid pace enabled him to secure an 11th-place finish, maintaining a speed similar to those just ahead in the top-10, even though he fell slightly behind early in the race.

"During the competition, when pitted against this team – which includes skilled cyclists like Marco Bezzecchi, Brad Binder, Fabio Quartararo – it appears I can keep pace with them. However, it's possible I've fallen slightly behind at the race's start."

"They possess a slight advantage that we lack to keep up with them. I engaged in a solid battle with Raul Fernandez, and it cost me some time."

Zarco mentioned that adopting a strategic approach is crucial for optimizing his chances in the upcoming Sunday's Grand Prix. "This is fantastic since, from the start of the year up until about two-thirds into it, strategizing during the race wasn't something I could consider, but now it's on my mind," he stated.

"I should probably focus on performing better in the latter half of the race to outperform the rest in this pack. By doing so, aiming for a solid top-10 finish seems like an achievable goal for now."

Based on his strategy for maximizing his performance in the race, Zarco is leaning toward choosing the hard-compound rear tyre for the Grand Prix.

"Zarco believes they will opt for the hard compound for the rear tyre, while he expects others might choose the medium compound. However, he notes that it's a choice between medium or hard, as the soft compound isn't viable for racing."

"My strategy is to rely on the steady performance of the hard [rear tyre]. It might not offer the best sensation initially, but from the midpoint of the race onwards, it could provide a slight edge of perhaps two-tenths over the medium. That's the approach we need to take."

"To ensure a successful race, it's crucial for me to put in a strong performance right from the start."

Ducati's Davide Tardozzi delivers a stark assessment as championship hopes dwindle

Ducati chief outlines today's pivotal championship showdown

Ducati's Davide Tardozzi is realistic about the slim chances of their leading rider clinching the MotoGP championship today.

Francesco Bagnaia trails Jorge Martin by 19 points heading into the final Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP race on Sunday afternoon.

Bagnaia needs to secure victory in the race and rely on Martin ending up in 10th place or beyond to keep the championship. For Martin, finishing among the top nine is sufficient to claim the championship title.

Ducati's leading racer, Bagnaia, clinched victory in Saturday's sprint race, preventing the loss of his championship title one day ahead of schedule.

"The objective was to maintain our chances in the championship," Tardozzi explained to TNT Sports.

"On Sunday, our only option is to emerge victorious in the race. However, we're fully aware that Jorge possesses the pace necessary to dominate and secure the points required for clinching the championship."

"We remain optimistic, though we acknowledge that the future is unpredictable."

Tardozzi noted, "Pecco showed up in high spirits, feeling optimistic about the bike's setup from Friday onwards."

"He believes he has the capability to triumph in the competitions, possessing the necessary velocity."

"The medium tyre can transform everything."

Bagnaia, who has claimed the title for the last two years, is supported by the official Ducati team.

Should Martin emerge victorious today and clinch the championship title as a Ducati competitor, he plans to switch to Aprilia in 2025, where he will sport the #1 plate.

A victory for Martin would also result in Ducati being bested by their own subordinate team.

Pramac leader Paolo Campinoti stated: "Certainly, there's room for more joy, but I'm sufficiently pleased as it is!

"The paramount objective is to avoid errors and complete the course."

He faced a challenge because the track temperature was low, causing him to struggle with traction on Friday.

He encountered fewer issues on Saturday.

Campinoti shared his intentions for the upcoming Sunday, stating, "I won't do anything special; I plan to enjoy a big celebration! After that, on Monday, it's straight back to business."

Starting next Monday, Campinoti's crew will leave Ducati behind and start their new journey as a satellite team for Yamaha in 2025. This gives even more significance to Martin's potential win, making it a historic achievement if he manages to secure it.

Francesco Bagnaia remarked, "I accomplished what was necessary." Meanwhile, he noted that Martin appeared anxious, which he deemed typical. Despite this, Bagnaia expressed confidence in Martin's ability to handle the pressure when competing.

Current MotoGP titleholder Francesco Bagnaia achieved exactly what was necessary by securing both the pole position and the Sprint race win at the Solidarity Barcelona MotoGP season-ending event.

This situation has set up a title-deciding match on Sunday against Jorge Martin, who is currently leading the

After being overtaken by Martin and Enea Bastianini at the first turn of the race, Bagnaia quickly regained his position and maintained the lead for the rest of the race.

Bastianini, a fellow team member, executed a maneuver on the final lap to overtake Martin and snatch second place away from the Spanish rider.

Bagnaia mentioned, "I slightly misjudged the initial braking and left a bit too much room, allowing both of them to pass me."

"After that, I was able to maintain a speed that allowed me to create some distance and savor the experience. Even though I wasn't exerting much effort, the gap continued to widen. So all was well."

"Tomorrow, we'll need to switch out the rear tire since the current soft one may be too delicate and might cause issues towards the end of the race."

"Besides that, I accomplished what was necessary: securing the pole position and winning the Sprint race."

"I had wished for more competitors to be involved, but we are aware of our capabilities at this point and throughout the season. Even when one of us faced difficulties, we still secured second place because we are operating at a different level."

"I believe Enea performed excellently today. However, I will require something additional for tomorrow."

Certainly, Martin continues to hold a significant lead, as finishing third in the Sprint has given the Pramac rider a 19-point edge going into Sunday.

This implies that should Bagnaia secure his eleventh victory of the season, Martin finishing ninth would still ensure he wins his first top-tier championship title.

However, the stress involved suggests that the situation for the #89 may not be as straightforward as it appears.

When asked if the situation for tomorrow poses a mental challenge, Bagnaia responded, "Not for me, but it does for him."

"I vividly recall the situation in 2022, when Bagnaia was tasked with defending a 23-point advantage, and I believe Jorge is currently feeling some of that pressure."

Throughout the entire weekend, I observed that he appeared quite anxious, which is completely understandable. However, I believe that once he's in the race, he is capable of handling the pressure effectively.

"He performed exceptionally well today, beginning from the second row and securing a spot on the podium."

"In my view, it won't be too challenging for him tomorrow."

Bagnaia is aware that Aleix Espargaro, who starts from the front row for Aprilia, will attempt to help Martin if the opportunity presents itself, as he has already provided a slipstream to the Pramac rider during the qualifying session.

Bagnaia expressed amazement at their relationship and mentioned that Jorge is set to join Aprilia next year, where they are eager to have the top spot in the team.

"Aleix will never challenge or pass Jorge, and that's something I need to accept."

"Whatever is destined to occur tomorrow, will indeed take place."

"I anticipate a race similar to today's: Jorge maintaining a steady pace without taking any chances, as he has substantial leeway. Even if I secure first place, he could still comfortably end up in 9th."

"This is a challenging situation for me, much like the one I experienced in 2022."

Bastianini, a fellow team member, is currently engaged in a competition with Marc Marquez for the third-place position in the world championship standings.

For two decades, Peter has been a fixture in the paddock, witnessing the arrival and departure of Valentino Rossi. He is deeply involved in covering the developments surrounding Suzuki's withdrawal and the injury troubles faced by Marc Marquez.
