1. FERMIN REMUNTADA, ALEX OUT ON LAP 2

   Posted on 4:00pm Sunday 10th May 2026

   FERMIN ALDEGUER #54 “Considering how we started the weekend, finishing with this result is definitely very positive. In the race, maybe I could have done a little more, but starting so far back forced us into a different strategy because of the tyre choice. The soft front tyre allowed us to make up a lot of positions, but in the final third of the race we no longer had enough grip to try and attack Raul Fernandez.” ALEX MARQUEZ #73 “I probably took Turn 3 a bit too slowly because I was worried the front tyre was still not fully up to temperature, and then I applied slightly too much throttle in Turn 4 and lost the front. A stupid mistake on my part, but fortunately I’m fine. It’s great to have Barcelona coming up very soon so we can make up for this race.”

2. FRENCH SPRINT: FERMIN RECOVERS BUT IT’S NOT ENOUGH, ALEX SCORES POINTS

   Posted on 5:00pm Saturday 9th May 2026

   ALEX MARQUEZ #73 “Saturday was made more difficult by an important mistake I made in qualifying. My fast lap wasn’t bad, but on a circuit like Le Mans every hundredth counts, and with just a few tenths’ delay I ended up on the fourth row. The race was difficult, and when riding in the slipstream it’s easy to make line mistakes, especially there. We did the maximum, picked up a couple of points, and if tomorrow we can make a small step forward in the warm-up, we can aim for a good result — weather permitting.” FERMIN ALDEGUER #54 “This morning with the used tyre things didn’t go badly at all; I was close to Alex’s lap times. But with the new tyre I’m struggling this year. In the race, partly thanks to our own work and partly because of a few crashes ahead, we managed a good comeback. The important thing is that we found the feeling and pace again, and tomorrow we hope for dry conditions, which would be very important to continue the work we’ve been doing this weekend.”         SPRINT RACE ALEX MARQUEZ 8º  FERMIN ALDEGUER 11º STANDINGS ALEX MARQUEZ 6º (55 points) FERMIN ALDEGUER 15º (20 points)     #FRENCHGP ðŸ‡«ðŸ‡·

3. OPS, WE’RE BACK!

   Posted on 5:00pm Sunday 26th Apr 2026

   ALEX MARQUEZ #73 “If there was a track where I could rediscover my feeling, it was Jerez. Magic happens here, and that’s exactly how it went. I felt good right from Friday, but I didn’t expect to be this fast. We did an amazing job together with the team—we worked hard, and getting two consecutive wins is absolutely incredible. I attacked right from the start, both Marco and Marc, and then I found a strong rhythm. These 25 points give us a lot of confidence and at least put us back among the top 7 in the overall standings. Now we’ll try to build race by race.” FERMIN ALDEGUER #54 “Many positive things from this race. Starting from 12th, I knew it wouldn’t be easy, and after a disastrous start the situation got even worse. But I still managed to put together a good race—the top 10 is definitely important, though we still need to find a solid base with this new bike. We’re definitely lacking something physically; after Austin I was completely drained, but we were coming off a double-header. I feel better now, but we’ll see tomorrow morning how I feel for the tests.”

4. THE FIRST EUROPEAN SPRINT DOESN’T SMILE ON TEAM GRESINI

   Posted on 5:00pm Saturday 25th Apr 2026

   FERMIN ALDEGUER #54 “It was important to keep putting in laps and working. In the race, at the start of a season where honestly we’re not fighting for anything yet, between going back to the pits and racing for fourth or fifth place, or going for the win, I chose to go for it. It didn’t work out, but with four laps to go, anything could have happened. In the first part of the race I felt very good physically, I was able to battle with the KTMs, and these are definitely important sensations that I’ll carry with me starting tomorrow.” ALEX MARQUEZ #73 “I felt good during the race. Maybe taking the lead wasn’t the best choice, but even this morning in the wet I felt good. I could have come in a lap earlier, but part of the track was still very dry, and on the lap when I was about to come in to change bikes, I crashed. We definitely weren’t lucky, but I’m convinced that tomorrow we have a great opportunity to be competitive again, especially if the conditions are dry.”

5. BK8 GRESINI RACING TEAM SCORES POINTS AT THE AMERICAS GP

   Posted on 12:00pm Monday 30th Mar 2026

   ALEX MARQUEZ #73
   “Today I made a few overtakes, so I’m a bit more satisfied compared to yesterday. It was the result I expected today; we didn’t have the pace to be among the best, and starting from the third row I couldn’t ask for more. We still scored points and brought home the best result possible. Right now we need to keep working and continue improving to reach the level of the front runners. With the factory bike it always takes a bit more time to get everything perfectly set up.”

   FERMIN ALDEGUER #54
   “It was a complicated weekend and physically tough. In the sprint I already felt the lack of pace on a MotoGP bike, but we scored points and managed to race and finish all the races without crashing. Today was tough, a very long race, but we have to be satisfied. Last year, after three races, we didn’t have this many points.”
