Even so, Marc Marquez is still satisfied with his appearance at the 2021 Austrian MotoGP. He also admits that he is happy to duel with Bagnaia. That moment also reminded him of a duel against his previous competitor at Ducati, namely Andrea Dovizioso.

“In dry conditions, I was comfortable and able to come out strong even though Pecco had more. Interestingly, this is like deja vu. I fought with Pecco, but he looked like Dovizioso,” said Marquez, quoted from Tuttomotoriweb, Monday (16/8/2021).

“I managed to stay up front and this is important. What’s important is how much effort I have to put in to keep up with the best.”

When competing with Dovizioso, Marquez had difficulty getting the world title, especially in 2017. Both of them had to compete until the last series to fight for the championship title. However, in the end, Marquez emerged as the champion.

Currently, in MotoGP 2021, Marquez is ranked 11th in the standings with 59 points. He will return to the British MotoGP track, which will be held at the Siverstone Circuit on 29 August.
