For the first time ever, Marc Marquez will give a candid assessment of Gresini Racing’s performance. This year’s
World Cup will likely be a source of inspiration for Alex, the captain of the team, in the 2024 Team Presentation on
January 20. Nevertheless, in light of this crucial moment, which can be freely explored on motogp.com and all of our
social media platforms, there are a few significant milestones that may have been achieved or undermined by
Spaniards. What exactly?
However, looking ahead to the present, Marquez has some plans that will lead to one major event in 2024, namely
celebrating the success of the United States of America once more. If she is truly in love with a Ducati motor, then
#93 will be linked to a list of elite drivers who have previously shared the lead with two different manufacturers, such
as Geoff Duke (Norton and Gilera), Giacomo Agostini (MV Agusta and Yamaha), Eddie Lawson (Yamaha and
Honda), Valentino Rossi (Honda and Yamaha), and Casey Stoner (Ducati dan Honda).
Following the defeat of Marco Bezzecchi (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team) and Jorge Martin (Prima Pramac
Racing) a few months earlier, Marquez, who was leading GP23, was undoubtedly the first to win the title alongside
Tim Independen in the MotoGPTM era—something that was unexpectedly successful in the top division. In 1978,
Kenny Roberts made history by being the first rookie to play with Yamaha USA. At the time, his performance was
worse than that of the manufacturer’s products. Later, in May 1981 and May 1982, Marco Lucchinelli and Franco
Uncini also broke away from Suzuki, owned by Roberto Gallina.
In 1989, Eddie Lawson left Yamaha after three 500cc races to work for Honda alongside Erv Kanemoto. Wayne
Gardner and Mick Doohan were brought in by Lawson to Rothmans Honda, but Gardner’s seriousness caused HRC
to focus on this American experiment, which eventually became Juara. Then we have to go back to 2001, when there
was no longer a top-tier manufacturer that could be found on the planet: Valentino Rossi and the Nastro Azzurro
team. Ia claimed the 500cc class title prior to joining the Repsol Honda Team in 2002.
