Alex Marquez satisfied with his 2nd place in Aragon: "I gave my all"

Capable of winning when the opportunity presents itself, Alex Marquez seemed unable to trouble his brother Marc throughout the weekend. Riding his Ducati Gresini, the runner-up to the World Championship leader admitted that the Aragon Grand Prix once again required a great deal of concentration to maintain his position from the starting grid.

"It was very difficult. I saw that Pecco was already very fast in the warm-up and that he was a force to be reckoned with today, he confessed after the raceHe gave everything to catch me, I really had to manage his pace. With the medium tire, the feeling wasn't great but I was still able to take him to the finish. I'm very happy with this second place, I gave the maximum of what I could do this weekend so I'm satisfied with our performance.

Recognizing the superiority of the Ducati GP25, Alex Marquez is taking advantage of his preferred position, but remains aware that the duel could become increasingly unbalanced if the upgrades were to abound on the factory Ducati driven by his brother Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia.

Alex Marquez fights with his weapons

“I really enjoy every session, every weekend… I can take the bike wherever I want, he rejoiced on Canal+'s microphoneWe battle with the factory bikes every weekend so it's never easy, they showed today that the 2025 version of the Ducati is still a bike that works. We have to stay focused on ourselves, on what we're doing. There's definitely an opportunity to get a good result."

Although only 32 points separate Marc Marquez from Alex after the Aragon Grand Prix, the Gresini rider expects Pecco Bagnaia to quickly rise in the standings, making the Spaniard's task more difficult than it already is.

"It's certain that tomorrow they will try things to improve the GP25, he commented on the tests planned for this Monday.We have fewer options to try new elements on our bike. We'll have to be smart. We have a good pace to make a difference in the championship."

"Since the beginning of the season I expected Pecco and Marc to be the fastest, and for the moment we are doing well despite everything, could he satisfy himself againFrancesco has lost some ground since the last Grands Prix. Despite everything, the gaps are still very tight. You can lose positions quickly, so management is always difficult. Today, Pecco is gaining confidence and is coming back well. He will be at the top very quickly, I have no doubt about it.
