Regrets, Family and Ducati: A Deep-Dive with MotoGP's Marc Marquez

In an exclusive interview, Uri Puigdemont sits down with eight-time World Champion and newest Ducati MotoGP rider, Marc Marquez.
In it, Marc talks about his career-defining switch from Honda to Ducati in 2023, the relationship between himself and brother Alex as they both compete for the sport’s greatest prize, how his family are dealing with the fights on-track, and how he’s getting along with new teammate Francesco Bagnaia.
There’s also a deep-dive into Marquez’s mentality, from the recent chaos of that aborted start in Austin, the crash that ended his perfect start to 2025, and what Marc would tell his 18 year old self, nearly 15 years after his first World Championship in the 125cc class.

The fact people dislike this man due to a following of rossi is astounding.

[CelestiaAureliaMoonvale]

I really love the way he speaks, how he responds to every question so thoughtfully, and he always smiles. There’s something so genuine and calming in the way he carries himself. And… I don’t know, it’s like he has such a good heart. I mean, his humility, his warmth, the way he treats everyone with respect that’s what makes people genuinely like and admire him. It’s not just what he says, but the way he makes you feel seen and heard

This is one of the best interviews of a MotoGP rider I have seen. Great Mr Puigdemont.

[nathaneyears]

These is one of the best interviews with Marc and some great questions.

[iraklistselegidis]

Wow didnt expect that thinking. Not only he won so many championships. He is a great man too. Awesome mentality and not a show off. As humble and chill as it gets. Huge respects!

[mdickson]

I am one of Marc’s biggest fans in this world and I have to say that this is the best interview I’ve ever seen with Marc! Thank you so much for bringing us a bit closer to our hero!

I usually don't speak highly about "content creators" and I have my reasons... This is by far the best of the best in interviewing a person of this magnitude. I will admit, it had moments in which it got me wet eyes. Marc is so natural and I can tell he was 100% real during these short twenty minutes. I know exactly what the symbiosis between gear and rider mean and I love the way he talked about it. Also, putting other people who, at times, depend on his success ahead of his own interest, make him not only a great athlete, but a great human being.
he was extremely gracious, not disclosing how he lost many important years of his career, by sticking to a team, out of loyalty, knowing that there were no chances of getting him the next world title... What a great human, rider and athlete Marc is!

I like how invested and detailed Marc is in his answers during this interview. Great insight into the mind of a two wheel goat

How can you not like Marc. He is a warrior on the bike but a really good guy off it. Great interview thank you.

What a beautiful Interview!
Marc Marquez is a joy to watch on and off the track. There can never be another Marc. It'll never surprise me If he surpasses Valentino Rossi's record. He's more than himself, and I know for sure he's going to beat all the record. For me he'll always be the king of MotoGP. What's more beautiful and important is not that he's a near perfect pilot or his track record or his ability to comeback, with all his determination, perseverance but his character towards everyone. I know for him, family and people are the most important things in his life as it should be for everyone too. There's a lot to learn from Marc as a person. He's just a beauty to watch, glad that I've born in an era where I saw him competing with Dani Pedroza, Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi, Casey Stoner to still competing with young talents now. He's just pure Magic. This interview is going to be etched in memory for the upcoming years!
For some reason, whenever Marc smiles, I smile and it gives me so much happiness. Not sure because of the pain he went through over the years and he's been able to bounce back and show once again who's the king, or not. But whatever it is, I know for sure this 2025 is going to be a record year for Marc and If he wins this championship, he owes them to Gresini Ducati for believing him and giving him a life to show what was he still capable of, and the reason now he's in a factory Ducati and in a winning streak. In life they generally say there's no second chance, but I believe Gresini Ducati gave him the second chance, for which he should forever be grateful of!
There's a lot to say, but I'll keep it simple for now.
Thank you @Motorsportcom for giving us this!
Vamos Marc Marquez!

He is a loyal guy for motorcycling racing. Even when he retired at this moment he did not want want to race in car. His love for motorcycling racing is really admirable

[OleMonegal]

Thank you for a great interview. This is the closest I have been to a GOAT. Inspiring.

[nigelhorrocks]

marc has always been an incredible rider but he has evolved into an incredible person . And I am sure that I am not alone in being a dyed in the wool Rossi fan who has evolved into an even greater fan of Marc . And then there is Alex !!! Well done Mama and Papa Marquez for giving the world and our sport such beautiful people .

He really is The Most Motivated Racer ive ever witnessed. ive seen alot of them. A Life Long Rossi Fan . This Dude though, he's simply on a different level of Motivated

[ChurchyXo]

Fantastic! I've followed Marc since Moto2 days. Watching him struggle the last few years makes his current success even sweeter, and he genuinely seems like a good guy. He's a delight to watch, on and off the bike.
