Marc Marquez Engages in Mind Games with Jorge Martin Ahead of Australian GP
Marc Marquez has made comments regarding team orders while competing against Jorge Martin in the MotoGP championship. During the qualifying session for the Indonesian GP, Marquez followed Martin out of the pits, aiming to create pressure and successfully qualified in fourth place, ahead of Martin.
Both riders left Mandalika with the same points, maintaining a close competition in the overall standings. Ahead of the Australian GP, Marquez addressed the topic of team orders at Ducati, suggesting that speed negates the need for such strategies. He noted that since his return from injury, he has consistently been the fastest Ducati rider, making team orders less relevant.
Aprilia, which achieved a historic 1-2-3-4 finish in Indonesia, is considering the implementation of team orders but has not committed to a specific race. Marquez recognizes that he will face a tough challenge against the Aprilia riders, as Ducati lacks a consistently fast teammate to assist him in gaining points.
