Marc Marquez and Alex Marquez have been competing against each other in MotoGP for the past five years.<\/p>\n

This season, both brothers are front-runners in the title fight, sitting first and second in the standings heading into the summer break.<\/p>\n

Having siblings compete for the MotoGP <\/a>championship can impact their relationship both on and off the track\u2014something Julia Marquez, their father, understands well.<\/p>\n

In an interview with CNN Sports, Julia explained that the competitive nature within the family has actually strengthened the relationship between his sons.<\/p>\n

\u201cIs there any family that doesn\u2019t argue? But their fights last five minutes. After that time, they\u2019re like this,\u201d he said. \u201cBack to normal.<\/p>\n

\u201cPersonally, from what I see and what I hear in the family, I think this competition has actually united them.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir relationship is far more positive, stronger and closer, and that is incredible. I\u2019m very proud of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started with my children from scratch, since they were very little, we always went together, we trained together, all of the races together. I took the motorhome and drove them there, and I like being by their side.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir personal relationship is very good, but I make sure that I separate their job and being a father. I\u2019m here with them, the relationship is great, but I don\u2019t get involved.<\/p>\n

\u201cAway from the track, it\u2019s different because I can behave like a father.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marc Marquez: “We speak about feeling on the bike, but…” \"Alex <\/p>\n

Alex Marquez, Marc Marquez<\/p>\n

Marc and Alex have shared the MotoGP grid since 2020, when Alex was promoted to Repsol Honda. However, their first season together was cut short after Marc suffered a serious arm injury at the Spanish GP\u2014the opening race of the 2020 season which was disrupted by the COVID-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n

After racing for LCR Honda in 2021 and 2022, Alex secured a move to Gresini Ducati<\/a> in 2023. Marc followed him in 2024, seeking a fresh start after injuries and Honda\u2019s decline in performance.<\/p>\n

While Marc spent only one season alongside Alex at Gresini, he earned a promotion to the Ducati Lenovo<\/a> factory team for 2025. Alex remained at Gresini, riding the powerful GP24 this season.<\/p>\n

Speaking about their rivalry, Marc Marquez<\/a> said they share feelings about the bike but take different technical approaches due to their riding styles.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe speak about the feelings on the bike, but in the end, he has his strategy with his chief mechanic, and I have my strategy with my chief mechanic, and different riding styles,\u201d Marc said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end, he feels one thing on the bike, I feel another thing, but the lap times are very close.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Alex Marquez<\/a> sees the rivalry as a positive force that fuels his growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that I\u2019m training with my rival for the championship, but there\u2019s something super nice to say,\u201d said Alex.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Okay, I want to beat him,\u2019 so the goal every day, you know, I want to beat him on the bicycle, I want to beat him in the gym, and I think it\u2019s a nice competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe both arrive on a really high level because of that everyday competition that you have, every day you are growing up more and more.\u201d<\/p>\n
