One of the BIG questions of MotoGP netizens is whether Marc Marquez is willing to leave himself as brand ambassador and Red Bull athlete if he becomes a racer for the factory Ducati team next year. As we know, the Ducati Lenovo team is sponsored by Red Bull’s arch rival, Monster Energy. Actually, for TMCBlog, seeing that he was so willing to give up a potential salary of 20 million Euros from Honda to move to Gresini before, Marc Marquez’s answer about Red Bull – Monster Energy was quite in line with expectations.
“I made a change last year, with a clear strategy of what I was looking for. I found it, I became more competitive and in that sense I would have more options. “The race goes by and I’m getting faster every time,” Márquez told the media on Thursday at Le Mans.
And when journalists specifically asked about the potential for changing sponsors for this energy drink, Marc tried to formulate words that were soft, but very clear in meaning, “In life, sometimes, you have to make decisions that you don’t like or don’t want to take. We are all here to win, and to achieve this we must always strive for the best conditions.
“We have to consider everything,” Marc said, while admitting that no door is closed. “If a rider terminates his contract, and one manufacturer, whatever it is, has a bike freely available, it would be foolish not to at least talk to them. You have to talk to everyone, and logically there is a conversation,” concluded Márquez.
It is understandable that Marc Marquez has not revealed the name of the energy drink brand directly in his answer because in general this process is just starting to take place.
