Marc and Álex Márquez's father's confession about his children: "Their relationship is more positive."

Marc and Alex Márquez are battling it out for the MotoGP World Championship, currently first and second in the overall standings. Their rivalry when they're on the bike is at its peak. However, once they get off the bike, they become great friends and brothers again, something their own father has spoken about.

His father, Julià Márquez, who has been instrumental in his children's careers, as he has instilled in them a passion for motorcycling from a very young age, has revealed to CNN Sports how they manage this rivalry.

"I think this competition has really brought them together. Their relationship is much more positive , stronger, and closer. I'm very proud of that," Julià confessed. "They're competing for the ultimate, but their bond as brothers is stronger than ever," he continued.

What seems clear is that they've managed to turn this rivalry and support to their advantage. In this sense, Mar is leading the world championships in a dominant manner, although Álex has emerged as the second candidate to win the title.

"Is there any family that doesn't argue? But their arguments last five minutes . After that, they return to normal," Julià concludes.
