ALEX MARQUEZ KICKS OFF 2025 WITH QUICKEST LAP-TIME IN BARCELONA TEST
It was an important day for Team Gresini Racing MotoGP, who said its final goodbye to Marc Márquez and welcomed the 19-year-old Fermín Aldeguer. It was a solid debut for the MotoGP rookie, who finished his first day as a premier class rider with the 20th lap-time (1’40.546secs), a little over one and a half seconds away from his teammate.
The rider #73 was the true protagonist of the day. The Desmosedici GP24 appears to be tailored around the style of the younger of the two Márquez brothers, who will enter his holidays with the best possible feeling ahead of 2025.
1st – ALEX MARQUEZ #73 (1’38.803s)
“I felt better in each outing with the new bike. I did a run with the 23 this morning before riding with the new one. I really liked the latter; I had fun and it showed. I crashed while trying to find the limit, but I could have easily avoided that. Now we’ll relax a little, but I admit I’m looking forward to 2025!”
20th – FERMIN ALDEGUER #54 (1’40.546s)
“I’m very, very happy with this first day. I felt comfortable on the bike straight away and felt fast. Braking is the area that impressed me the most, and generally speaking it was an incredible day. There’s plenty to do, of course, but the atmosphere within the team is incredible and, crash aside, I think we did a good job. I still need to get used to everything, but I’m very happy. Without the crash, I surely would have done a little better lap-time wise.”
