Marc Marquez’s injury ‘made him suffer more than he expected’
to speak reapingVeteran MotoGP manager Pernat Marquez says he will still race for ‘another year or two’. He seems to be asking for a one-plus-one deal DucatiInstead of doing it until the end of 2028.
After the Mandalika accident, Pernat Marquez realized that he was afraid of harming himself. Doctors initially thought it was not necessary to operate, but later decided to operate.
Despite Marquez’s unusual form this year, Pernat says he will still be quick enough to beat many riders on the grid.
“I’ll be the first to say that I saw something resembling fear in his eyes for the first time,” he said. “Let me be clear, not fear of running or speed, but fear of what might happen.
“His latest injury has caused him to suffer more than he expected, and he was willing to suffer after what he had already endured, and I fear that such rationalization as the basis of his decision to quit has officially begun.
“He’ll renew his contract with Ducati, race for another year or two, but I think something clicked in his head. I don’t know if it’s him riding a little slower. For sure, Marc Marquez, who rides a little slower, is still faster than most.”
Carlo Pernat suspects Marc Marquez is worried about Pedro Acosta.
Ducati is expected to sign Pedro Acosta As a replacement for Francesco Bagnaia. A matchup with Marquez already looks like the most exciting storyline of 2027.
Marco Melandri said recently. Marquez may retire to avoid Acosta.Widely regarded as the top talent in Grand Prix racing.
After Marquez joined Ducati and generally beat him, Bagnaia’s stock was damaged, perhaps irreparably.
And she suspects that Pernat Marquez is worried about Acosta’s arrival.
“Isn’t it true that Marc Marquez doesn’t wonder deeply if the same thing that happened to Pedro Acosta could happen to him with Pedro? It’s natural for him to ask himself that question as a human being.”
