Needless to say, the Marquez is an idol for motorcycle lovers. In addition to Valentino Rossi who has a huge fan base, The Baby Alien – a Marquis nickname – is no less.
The difference is that Rossi has now hung his helmet while Marquez is still working in the MotoGP world. However, this season, The Baby Alien must be absent for a long time due to the injury he sustained. This has greatly affected Honda’s performance which has fallen this season.

Apart from that, it turns out that Alonso admires Marquez. The veteran Formula 1 rider admitted that he really enjoyed every time the six-time MotoGP world champion played on the track.
“I am a Mark I fan. A lot of people, not just me, watch the race because of him, to see the stunts he does. Quoting GBOne, Wednesday (08/24/2022): Unimaginable things too many times,” Alonso said, citing JB One, Wednesday (08/24/2022).
Alonso admits he was looking forward to it counting-Marquez to the ring. El Plan – Alonso’s nickname – wished the best so that his favorite jockey could show off again. He claims The Baby Alien is still 100 percent capable of adding to the MotoGP world title.
“So all this time when he’s not on the track, he still doesn’t lose interest, but he follows the motorcycle weekend differently. I’m counting the days waiting for him to come back.”
“Above all, he can come back one hundred percent, that’s the most important thing. We want to see him recover. Can he win again? One hundred percent,” Alonso concluded.
