Next year he will be joined by his brother Marc Marquez in th🗹eღ Gresini team.

But even without him this year, in his debut year since quitting Honda, h🅰e has achie🌳ved his first podium finish in over two years.

Alex detailed his year-old spec Desmosedici 🅷to : “In the end,🅘 the speed is there and especially after the Misano test. 

“We have made some set up changes; At that point we started the year well, but there was a moment𝓰 in the season where we got a little stuck in that evolution so we made a pretty big change in the set up again. 

“We already introduced it in India, but I had a crash, then in Austr🅠alia and Thailand it went well.🐼 

“We have a set up and a geometry of the bike that allows me to better apply my ridi𓆏ng style but we have to fini🌼sh fine-tuning it a little. 

“It is true that I personally lack a little rhythm due to the injury and๊ hence the last fall in the race. 

“Doing the races without mistakes will be👍 key to picking up the pace again and beiꦆng there at the front again.”

“It is an injury that does not allow you to train or do anything"

Marquez fractured three ribs during qualifying for the Indian MotoGP, thou𒈔gh he has completed the past two grands prix after recovering.

“I feel good, I would say 90 percent, m💖ore or less,” he🐠 said. 

“Becau⭕se in the end it's not just the ribs, but it's also the physical shape.&nb༒sp;

“It is an injury th𒆙at does not allow you to train or do anything, you have to be completely stopped, from the sofa to the bed and not much movement. 

“Even so, I broke a fourth rib at home, getting up, so it's something you have to🐲 keep a close eye on, but I think I've recovered almos🍌t 100 percent from the injury, and I'm looking forward to finishing the season on the right note.

“Having already got my physique ready, I 💧can concentrate 100 perಞcent on riding.

“This injury has stopped us a little from being able to hav🌳e a good end to the season, but we have three races left. 

“In Thailand we once again ♛had that confidence and, above all, that speed that we wanted to finish the year well, so Malaysia, Qatar and Valencia will be key to finishing on a good note. 

“Hopefully it will be to step on the podium again before the end of tﷺhe year.

“We know that it will be a key and important year for everyone because many contracts end and getting of♓f to a good 🏅start will mean that the future could be very good.”
