Marc Marquez Aims to Break Winless Streak at Catalunya MotoGP, Aleix Espargaro Announces Retirement

Posted : 24 May 2024

This weekend's Catalunya MotoGP promises a potential comeback for Marc Marquez, who eyes an end to his prolonged winless streak in front of his home crowd.

 

The six-time former world champion enters the Barcelona circuit in high spirits, riding the momentum of two consecutive second-place finishes for his new team, Ducati-Gresini.

 

Despite not clinching a victory since October 2021, Marquez feels optimistic about his progress, acknowledging the need for consistency while expressing confidence in his accelerating pace.

 

Transitioning from his long-term partnership with Honda to Ducati's satellite outfit has rekindled Marquez's competitive edge and form. Recent performances, including a close pursuit of world champion Francesco Bagnaia at Jerez and trailing only series leader Jorge Martin at Le Mans, underscore Marquez's resurgence.

 

While harboring hopes of contending for the championship, Marquez emphasizes the importance of maintaining clarity and strategic riding throughout the season.

 

Heading into the sixth round of the championship, Marquez sits third in the standings with 89 points, trailing Bagnaia by a mere two points for the second position and Martin by 40 points. Recalling last year's tumultuous Catalunya race, marked by Bagnaia's dramatic crash, the anticipation for this year's event is heightened.

 

Meanwhile, Aleix Espargaro's unexpected retirement announcement adds a poignant touch to the occasion, as the three-time MotoGP winner bids farewell to a near two-decade career, culminating in more than 300 races.
