The Spanish Marc Márquezafter entering P13 in the Malaysian MotoGP Grand Prix, did not hesitate to recognize the new Moto2 world champion, also Spanish Pedro Acostathat “will give a lot to talk about in MotoGP“, while emphasizing that “can mark an era“.
The one from Cervera added that “I already said it on social networks in his first race in Moto3I don’t remember exactly what I put, since I was on the couch at home because I was injured, but Pedro is very good, and he is showing it, well In the end the numbers speak for themselves“.
“One can aim in many ways, one can achieve specific results as happens and has happened in the past, but when you win when it’s your turn to win, you score when it’s your turn to scorewhen you don’t waste time and go for the ‘work’, that’s when the results come,” explained Marc Márquez.
“I will not put any label because I have always hated him, each driver has his era, each driver has his years and each driver has his moment, no one is the ‘anti’, nor does he come to anything. Nobody, I have said many times, is eternal“, commented Márquez about Acosta’s arrival to MotoGP.

“I mean that you have to know how to differentiate things. My rivalry with Valentino is no secret in the past, but the thing, which was that I was surprised that Marini took my place, is that If a driver goes fast and a driver deserves it…“, clarified Márquez.
Likewise, he insisted that when he said about my brother, “who was a Moto2 world champion and deserved to go up to MotoGP, it doesn’t matter what name he is or what last name he has, Each one has their style, their character and their handling on the track.and that has to be completely differentiated.”
