Alex Marquez looking for confirmations
Alex Marquez‘s season took a positive turn in Jerez de la Frontera. After an anonymous start, the Spaniard found rhythm on a track that suits him very well, returning to victory and interrupting Marco Bezzecchi’s winning streak. The triumph in Andalusia allows #73 to approach Le Mans with a new spirit and with the goal of confirming the great feelings from two weeks ago.

The “Bugatti”, historically favorable to Ducati, could enhance the bike’s characteristics and allow the vice world champion to play a leading role in the French weekend. And Marquez certainly does not back down.
The words of Alex Marquez
“The Jerez weekend was fantastic. I managed to regain speed, but especially the feelings I had in 2025, managing to ride very well. Between Le Mans, Montmeló and Mugello we will have three very important weekends for us, we will try to confirm the feelings from Jerez. We think we have made another step forward in the tests, I think we will be stronger, but we will have to confirm it also on a different track“, this was his comment in the press conference. “I hope to continue the momentum as much as possible, maintaining this good form. Surely the victory in Jerez was a nice boost both for me and the team, and also for Ducati, it was really important after a difficult start to the season. It seems we are back, but there are still various things to confirm“.

On the major step forward he found in Andalusia, Marquez added: “What I was missing was the way to brake the bike in the right way and at the right point, while in Jerez we found a feeling similar to last year and I managed to make the difference in the other points where I am stronger, like traction and the apex. At the moment I feel at a point very similar to last year“.
