Marc Marquez News

Kevin Schwantz,Wayne Rainey

Some of MotoGP’s former American stars have their say on what Marc Marquez could get his first Ducati win this weekend at COTA.

Following a slow start to both practices on Friday, Marquez ended the day in third place behind Jorge Martin and Maverick Vinales.But the Spaniard, who is still adapting to the GP23 bike, is expected to be a major player for victory in the sprint and grand prix.

“There are so many things that it takes to be fighting for the world championship; one is that he has to have the confidence in the bike and that every time he goes to a circuit he knows more to compete on a Sunday. Joining Rainey in speaking about Marquez aboard a Ducati was Kenny Roberts Sr and son Kenny Roberts Jr.

“Whether you’re a fan of his or not, the championship deserves to have Marc fighting for it and the other guys as well. Acosta coming up; it’s really tight at the moment and it’s just started.”
