Uccio Salucci; That Márquez doesn't reach Rossi's 115, but he will"

Joy overflowing in the Pertamina Enduro VR46 box with Franco Morbidelli's third place in the Argentine MotoGP GP. The Italian-Brazilian crossed the finish line of Termas de Río Hondo at 4.6 of the lead, but stopped with the margin of almost a second to Bagnaia in the fight for the third step of the podium. His boss, Uccio Salucci, who is the right hand of Valentino Rossi, owner of the Italian team, spoke wonderfully about them and also valued the fact that Marc Márquez tied with Ángel Nieto as the third driver in history with the most victories in GGPP, perfectly aware that his next victim could one day be The Doctor, who won 115 for the 90 that the Catalan has

AS first asked him about the success of his driver: "This podium has a very particular flavor for the team, because when we think of taking Morbidelli as our driver, about March 2024, we heard a lot of criticism, saying that he did not deserve to be with us, so this podium is very important for the team. Franco deserves what he has achieved, because he was two years at Yamaha in which everyone massacred him and everyone thought he was finished. And he didn't have everything in place when he had a good bike at Yamaha. People don't know him and he criticizes, but we wanted to try him and we were even more motivated that people said he was finished."

And then for the fact that Márquez now has his friend Valentino in the spotlight. The Italian couldn't be more sincere: "Bravo for him. It is true that now his goal is Vale's 115 victories and I think Márquez is very strong, that he has a fantastic bike and a fantastic team. I hope it doesn't arrive, but I think it will.”
