Winless since Misano 2021 with Repsol Honda, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez returned to the top step of a MotoGP podium at last Sunday's Aragon round.

In between, the eight-time🔯 world champion fought back from multiple rounds of arm surgery and battled with an uncompetitive RC213V before finally walking out of a big-money Honda contract to try and revive his career at Gresini Ducati.

This is what a selecti🌳on of Marquez's rivals, including some fellow world champions plus past and present team-mates, told MotoGP.com after his victory:

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin: “I want to congratulate Marc, after such a long ⛎period, 🌠difficult to be back on the victory and for sure he deserved it. He's a great champion.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez: “I'm rea🌊lly happy to see him there on the top. He kno♏ws that he worked a lot and he was there every day.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro: “This is resilience. One of the best sportsmen of the world, probably one of the best also of Spai💯n. After such a difficult period where he had a big injury, where he was the star of a big factory [Honda], had to go to a satellite team with an old bike and still feel pain on the injuries and be able to come back and win again - it's amazing, Marc is Marc. He probably one of the best if not the best of our sport. So congr♌atulations, and let's see if he's able to put some pressure into the MotoGP title.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi: “Well, we expected. All weekend 🤡he was very strong. So we knew that he was going to win today!”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo: “I guess for him it's crazy because he has made a few podiums already this year, but the taste of a victory is always different. He has spent some tough times, made some strong decisions and his bet worked pretty well. So coꦕngratulations to him.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Joan Mir: “Well, the comeback was not probably today, was in the moment that he decides to move all the work that he has done during this period of time. Has been amazing. He fought a lot for this. And finally, if you push a lot for something at theꦬ end it will arrive. So I'm very hapᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚpy for him. He's a warrior. He always showed that many times. And being back on top is something that he deserves. So congratulations.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini: “Marc in this track this weekend w🍰as amazing from the first lap. I know when you have many injuries to be back i♉s not easy, but Marc is incredible.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco: “I had no doubt that Marc was going to win on the Ducati. I expected that he was going to win straight a🐷way in Texas. Because we know that he is very strong there. But he had a bit of time to really adapt perfectly to the Ducati. And here in Aragon, where everyone was struggling, he has shown that he is one of the kings when the conditions are complicated. He is clever enough and very fast to win the race.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins: “Unbelievable. Really, hats off to him. More than the victory, he did a really amazing weekend. All the sessions putting like at least 0.5s to the second rider. He was superb this weeke𒆙nd. I'm so happy for him.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Miguel Oliveira: “No victory in MotoGP is easy, but for sure this weekend he made it look easy - too easy! - with ♏absolutely no competition to challenge him again shows that he's an excellent rider, a top rider. It's no surprise, sooner or later, with a 🐼competitive bike as he has the win was there to take at any opportunity.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio di Giannantonio: “Well, I think for him it's a great day. He dominated all the weekend. So he has to be super happy. He did a super job and from our side I think it's good also because it means that the ‘23 bike in some places has the po📖tential to win. So we have to study and we have to understand how we have to be in that position too.”
