Rome, 24 April (LaPresse) – ’Alex is fast right now, but I think Bagnaia is stronger for the World Championship. Why? We are in the factory team and we will have all the new Ducati updates between now and the end of the season. He has won here for the last three years and will be very competitive.’ This is what Ducati rider Marc Marquez, leader of the MotoGP World Championship, told Sky Sport. He then had a thought for reigning world champion Jorge Martin, who was injured during the Qatar Grand Prix: ‘I've been through it myself, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. He needs to stay calm, and I hope for the sake of the championship that he returns. But he mustn't make any hasty decisions.’
