After being beaten by his older brother for a fourth race in a row questions have been asked about Alex Marquez's respect for Marc Marquez.

Alex Marquez finished in second place at the Argentine Grand Prix, which was his second time as the runner-up in the first two races.

The 2025 MotoGP season is Marquez's third year with the Gresini Racing MotoGP team. Although the Spaniard has yet to win a Grand Prix, this has been his best start to a MotoGP season.

Ever since getting on the Ducati GP24 the younger Marquez brother has felt right at home. Throughout pre-season testing and the opening two Grands Prix, he has been at the sharp end.

"It’s the moment where I feel at my strongest in MotoGP," Alex confirmed. 

"This bike suits me in a really good way with the riding style. So I'm just enjoying being on the bike. I'm playing with the bike and it's something really great. Just we need to keep going like that.

"The team are doing a super job, also the support from Ducati. We need to understand a few things from Marc, but here we were closer and it's super nice to fight with your brother for a MotoGP victory."

"This question is disrespectful... I give my 100% always"

After being beaten by his brother for the second Grand Prix in a row questions have been asked about Alex's respect towards his older brother.

Marc Marquez has openly admitted that Alex is his main title rival, but some views suggest Alex needs to 'lose his respect' for Marc.

"I’ve had this question many times; ‘when will you lose the respect for Marc’ or ‘you respect too much Marc’," answered Alex.

"For me, this question is disrespectful to me. I’m a rider. I give my 100% always. I try to push for my team, for my sponsors. I know that it’s my brother and I will have an extra respect when I overtake him.

"I'm the first one that wants to beat him and I want to win. But I'm more realistic than everybody because I know how Marc is. I know his strong points and I don't have any problem saying about them.

"Maybe [normally] you will not say directly what your rival is doing really good. But it's my brother, so I don't have any problem saying it.

"And I don't have any problem with accepting if he’s better than me in some points.

"So I will try to learn. I will try to give like always my 100%.

"But stop thinking I have too much respect for Marc. We saw it today. We fight each other. He was faster than me and I gave my 100%.

"So I'm happy with second. I know that he is better than me in some areas and I will try to improve for the future."
