MADRID, 5 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Motorcycle World Championship assured after learning of the signing of the Spanish Marc Márquez for the official Ducati team that the Catalan will form “one of the most talented duos that are remembered in the history of the ‘queen’ category” and that this operation “is placed , in its own right, on par with other great movements that shook the foundations of other sports, both inside and outside the motorsport universe.”
Thus, the championship organization considers that the arrival of the eight-time champion can be compared to the departure of the Englishman Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes to Ferrari for the 2025 season or that of the Brazilian Ayrton Senna, who left McLaren to sign for Williams.
He also alludes to “many well-known cases” from outside the world of motorsport, such as football, with the Portuguese Luis Figo leaving FC Barcelona in the summer of 2000 to join the ‘eternal rival’, Real Madrid, the Brazilian Neymar Jr leaving Barça to land at PSG in the summer of 2017 after paying his termination clause of more than 220 million, or the recent arrival of Frenchman Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid.
In addition, far from Europe, remember other “legendary transfers” such as ‘The Decision’ of LeBron James, who in 2010 left the Cleveland Cavaliers to play for the Miami Heat, or in the NFL where the star ‘quarterback’ Tom Brady decided to leave of his lifelong franchise, the New England Patriots to make the Tampa Bay Buccaneers champions.
“The examples are numerous in these and other sports, and Marc Márquez is called to follow in his footsteps after leading a movement that has revolutionized the world of motorsport in particular and sport in general. Capable of leaving his mark in a unique way within and off the track, what will he be capable of in his next seasons dressed in red? That story remains to be written, but, without a doubt, it promises to be exciting,” warns the World Cup.
