Behind-the-scenes insight into telling Marc Marquez body language
M🎶arc Marquez mood noted away from TV cameras in Buriram paddock

The smile on 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez’s face is only getting broader.
After his dominant 2025 MotoGP season-openi🌺ng Thailand round, he might be smiling even more after rounds ꦗtwo and three in Argentina and Texas, a pair of his favourite circuits.
But away from the TV cameras, Marquez is exhibiti﷽ng body language which might concern his🤡 rivals.
“Marc looked r🅺eally relaxed, perhaps the most relaxed that I’ve seen him,” Peter McLaren told the Crash MotoGP podcast from the Buriram paddock.
“The way i𓃲t works is: they come into the media room, sometimes they queue up.
“Some riders love that. Jack Miller, for example, chat𝓰s to the ot🎀her riders.
“Others keep themselves to themselves. Marc is like this sometimes, just speaking to h𝓰is press officer or his꧃ assistant.
“But Marc has been really relaxed. He is as comfortable𓆉 off the track and he is on the track.
“There is no change with Pecco Bagnaia.
“He is very calm, we know💧 how he൩ is, he does not panic.
“Pecco has said he’s got a lot of work to do, a lot of catching up to do. He needs to find pace to put pr🐠essure on Marc.
“We didn’t thinꦅk there would be a clear gap at the first round💎.
“Rewind a year ago: Gigi Dall’Ign🅠a saw something in💧 the data to sign Marc before he’d won any races.
“Now we ar💮e seeing what Gigi saw on the computer 🐬screens a year ago.”
Gigi Dall'Igna 'end game' was to sign Marc Marquez

Much of the pre-season talk, after Ducati signed Marquez to their factory team, centred around the at♔mosphere in the garage.
Would Marquez cause a fuss in an otherwise tranquil garage which had helped💞 Bagnaia to two MotoG🐻P titles?
So far, it has been a haven of smil꧂es on🍎 Marquez’s side.
“He has eꦐssentially stepped into en🐼emy territory,” Lewis Duncan said.
“There was maybe a wonder, when Marc was signed to the factory team and wasn’t allowed to take Franki🅰e Carchedi or Santi Hernandez. The only reason Hernandez didn’t join him at Gresini is because Marc refused to sign a two-year deal and [Ducati] didn’t want their secrets [being given] away.
“There were little thoughts: ‘M🉐arc is coming into the team, how will it work with Gigi, a proud engineer who won’t want his team’s efforts masked by a rider꧂’s ability?’
“When Marc comes in, he’l🅘l be branded the winner rather than the 🔯bike.
“But we saw quickly, M𝄹arc and Gigi sat together laughing. It seems a relaxed atmosphere.
“Ducati know they’ve ไgot something special in their hands.
“This is Gigi’s end-game. He came in 2014 at Duc꧅ati’s lowest point and he built it to a point where they won races and championships.
“But the ultimate goal for any manufacturer is 💃to have the bes🅷t rider winning a championship.
“They tried with Valentino Rossi and it didn’t work. They haven’t had the opportunity to do it again. Bagnaia and Martin were you🗹ng riders who ca𒐪me through their system.
“It will probably get to a pointꦏ where Marc fights for the championship, or wins it. That is the end-game for all of their hard work.
“Th꧑ey have an opportunity to become legend🦹s in MotoGP.
“It’s one thing to win a championship with Bagnaia, but another to win it with Marquez. That’s why it’s so harmonious🙈.
“They’ve got the best bike and the best rider. That’s a combination which does🌜n’t happen often.”
