The sib💙lings will reunite this year as Gresini Ducati riders after Marc followed Alex, a year later, out of Honda.

It means they will s꧑hare a garage, a bike and data for the first time since 202꧂0, when they were Repsol Honda teammates, a period which ended early due to Marc’s injury.

"We talk on the circuits, but not much,”📖 Alex said on . 

“There is ൩not much time. He is one way and I𝓰 am another. 

“It is also like🦩 that with the other riders, sometimes talking confuses more than it helps.

“That's why everyone has t🦩o do their own thing. 

“I work with his team and his people. 

“If 𒉰you have doubts, of course it is an advantage to go to you♔r brother and ask 'how do you do it?'

“But if not, no."

Marc’s impressive debut on a Ducati at the postseason Valencia test means he enters 2024 as a MotoGP title contender.

It could be the ke🐈y to the younger Marquez brothe꧒r’s improvement too.

"I really like to observe the people aro🍷und me,” Aღlex said.

“For example, my brother has won eight world⛄ championships, so I say🤡 'is he good, what does he do better?' 

“Some💎times people, when they have someone who is better next to them, say that ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚit's luck and that's it. 

“But if you look at it with the idea of ​​wanting to learn🍰, it's cool, if not, it doesn't get better.”

A career in t🐲he spotlight as the younger brother of arguably MotoGP’s greatest 💖ever talent has not always been easy for Alex.

A Moto3 and a Moto2 champion in his own ♏right, the most recent p𝔉remier class season was his best yet.

But he’s had to cope with criticism🥃 along the way.

"When things ♑go wrong you have to know who criticises you constructively, who can help you," h⛦e said. 

"For example, the 'haters' give me motivation.

“The 'hate' makes y🅘ou think 'I'm going to shut up, I'm going to try harder’.

“When you leave here, you will realise that the impor✃tant thing is that they talk aboutღ you. 

“The day they stop doing that, it's over.

"At first criticism hurts because you are not used to it, but 🌜in the end it is what I said before: you have to focus on c𝓡onstructive criticism. 

“When it comes to criticism that is going to hurt, why waste time𓆏 with it? You set i🌌t aside and that's it.

"There will alway♉s be people who want 'evil', but i🔯t's envy. 

“How many people would like to be here? 

“You have to surrou🃏nd yourself well, have your family close, and those who help you keep your feet on the ground.”
