Quartararo v Marquez in 2019<\/p>\n
In an interview with Spanish outlet AS, Quartararo rates his chances going up against Marquez on equal terms.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn rare conditions, he is almost unbeatable, but in the dry we could give him some problems,\u201d he told AS.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt pure speed I have the potential to be very fast.\u201d<\/p>\n
Talking further about Marquez, Quartararo likened the eight-time world champion\u2019s current form to having a player on the FIFA video games at the maximum skill level.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I talk about him I don’t do it to look good or look bad,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think there is no one at the level of Marquez right now.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I am not only referring now but in the last 10 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s in everything, in wet, dry, with one arm badly [injured], with the other… he goes fast in all circumstances and is an example, because there are things that are difficult for me, such as when there are patches of moisture.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m not as comfortable as him and he’s going into everything. It’s like FIFA, you can have all your players with [level] 99.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the same interview, Quartararo highlighted Pecco Bagnaia and Alex Marquez – Marc Marquez\u2019s nearest rivals – as two other riders he has paid attention to most in 2025.<\/p>\n
After 12 rounds, Marc Marquez leads the championship over Alex Marquez by 120 points after eight grand prix victories and 11 sprint wins.<\/p>\n
