\u201cIt was a perfect Saturday,\u201d said Marquez as quoted by MotoGP. \u201cThe feeling is great with the bike. Happy to start my new journey with Ducati this way. Let\u2019s see if we can minimum be on the podium tomorrow but if we can we will fight for the victory.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Marquez\u2019s younger brother, Alex, secured second place, completing a remarkable 1-2 finish for the siblings, while two-time world champion and Marquez\u2019s factory Ducati teammate, Francesco Bagnaia, finished third. Japanese rookie Ai Ogura impressed on his MotoGP debut, crossing the line in fourth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Marquez\u2019s commanding performance reinforces the strong form he has displayed all week. He was the fastest in opening practice on Friday before narrowly losing out to his younger brother in the afternoon session. His pre-season with Ducati had already raised expectations, and he is widely tipped to be a strong contender for the world championship, his first since 2019.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The combination of Marquez and Bagnaia has been described as a dream team, but some observers have suggested their rivalry could prove volatile. The duo\u2019s intense competitive nature could lead to high-octane battles throughout the season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
