Pramac boss spoke to Marc Marquez about the bad comparison with Jorge Martin after the official 2025 pre-season test

The official 2025 MotoGP pre-season test has already sparked controversy, with the Pramac Racing team boss publicly addressing Marc Marquezs recent comparison between himself and Jorge Martin. The remarks, which sparked heated debates among fans and pundits, were branded by the Pramac boss as unfair and misleading, further fuelling tensions in the paddock.

Marquez, known for his outspoken opinions, commented on Martins performance during pre-season testing, suggesting that the Pramac riders style and abilities were not up to par with his own experience and achievements. This prompted a swift response from the Pramac team, with their boss defending Martin and his impressive MotoGP record.

Jorge has proven to be a formidable competitor and these comparisons do not do justice to his abilities, the Pramac boss said in a post-test press conference. Each driver has his own unique approach and strengths. It is not constructive to make those kinds of judgements, especially at this stage of the season.

Martin, who has been setting promising lap times and showing consistency during testing sessions, has yet to respond directly to the comments. However, his growing fan base has taken to social media to support him and has criticised Marquezs comments as being dismissive and overly critical.

For now, the Pramac boss remains steadfast in his defence of his rider, indicating that the team is fully behind Martin as he prepares to prove himself against some of the biggest names in MotoGP. With the season just around the corner, the pressure is on all riders to perform at their best, but it seems clear that this rivalry will be one to keep an eye on.
