Autosport has conducted an exclusive interview with the six-time MotoGP champion Marc Marquez who has made a great start to life as a factory Ducati rider.

Marquez first joined the Ducati fold in 2024 riding for its satellite squad Gresini, so he discusses that huge switch from Honda plus his relationship with younger brother and title rival, Alex.

He then delves into how his family are dealing with the on-track fights and how Marquez is coping with having Francesco Bagnaia as his new team-mate.

There is also a deep dive into his mentality, plus much more in the interview which takes place in sunny Qatar ahead of this weekend’s grand prix.
