Motogp’s boss Carmello Azpeletta has assured that Dorna would not “stop” the full dominance of Marks in the World Championship, saying that the 32 is not “worthy of global importance” to the 32.
On Wednesday, Azpeletta attended the launch event for the 2025 Catalan Grand Prix at the prestigious Miro Foundation, which is a few meters from the original Olympic Mountains Track, where 23 versions of the Spanish Grand Prix were held between 1950 and 1976.
At the end of the presentation, CEO Azpeletta, CEO of Dorna, held a meeting with a small group of media outlets, including Autosport, asking the top executive of the championships to leave Barcelona in Markets with the opportunity to leave Barcelona in the next race in the next race in Egypt.
He said, “The way things are going on, it is not something that surprises us. But we cannot say that it is a deal until it happens; anything can happen,” he said. “He may not be a champion in Barcelona, so we are no longer going to think about it.
“A few years ago, when many Grand Prix were the winners every year, people said that Motogp lacked a hero.
“Now we have one, he wins every race, and the same people say that we will soon have a champion. I don’t think so. Mark is an extraordinary season, and when he has to become a champion, he will happen.”

Azpeletta himself admitted that some people get ‘boring’ due to the winning run of Markes, but insisted that Dorna had no intention of curbing her dominance.
“Of course not, this is the World Championship and the best riders are those who win,” he said. “Markets will stop winning, if another rider comes with, who believes that he can beat him and there are instruments to do so.
“At that time, we introduced concessions, and manufacturers such as Aprilia have taken a big step. Personally, I believe that the new technical rules for 2027 will change the scenario, but we will see.
“We have to do things so that everyone is at the same position, but the show cannot be changed, we are not thinking about it and we are not going to do it.”
Ezpeleta does not want to make “comparison” between Rossi and Markes
It has been 10 years since the infamous ‘Sangharsh’ between Markes and Valentino Rossi In sepang, an event that eventually caused a rift between Italian legend and Motogi.
Asked whether Markes – Now at its peak – can plug the difference left by Rossi, Azpeletta said: “I don’t like to compare. Valentino won many titles and achieved a lot in the beginning and then expanded his career. They are two great champions, and comparatively only works to increase these figures.
“Mark is Mark, which is very good. And Vale too, and it is not for debate.”

It is clear that Marx has become more stronger than ever after getting closer to retirement due to injury, and now ranks into the greatest athletes in history.
“Personally, I was sure he would return to this level. I followed his entire injury and recovery, and looking at him and doctors, I knew he would be,” Ezpeletta said.
“They have managed their career very well, leaving a contract, which paid them a lot of money (Honda) to go to a place which was important to them (Ducati). When a person is so clear about something, it means that they know that they can do so.
“Markets are not given global importance that they deserve.”
