Being the younger brother of six-time MotoGP™ champion Marc sees the 28-year-old have to make his way in the shadow cast by one of the best to ever do it, but Alex is making progress as he enters his sixth season.
The Moto3 (2014) and Moto2 (2019) champion was beaten easily by his superstar sibling when they were teammates last year, but Alex quietly had his best premier-class world championship finish (eighth), enjoyed a memorable podium with Marc in Germany, and now gets his hands on the GP24 used to win last year’s title.
It’s a performance arrow that’s trending up, albeit more methodically than rapidly. Given what he’s riding, and with fewer Ducatis on the grid this year than last and a rookie teammate in Fermin Aldeguer, his podium potential should rise.
