Last week Jorge Martinwithout appearing on screen, became the main protagonist of a conflict between two of the main television shows in Spain, “el Hormiguero” and “la Revuelta”.which has been fighting for several months for the main night time slot.
Martín's agents were committed to appearing on Pablo Motos' program this week, but the world champion was also invited by David Broncano's program to appear last week, when the scandal broke.
This Wednesday Marc Marqueza regular at the Pablo Motos show, spoke to the media in Madrid, during an event for one of its sponsors.
As it could not be otherwise, Marc was asked about the controversy between the two programs and, above all, about the attitude adopted by his racing colleague Jorge Martín.

“When programs of this caliber call you, it's a good sign”, underlined Márquez, questioned on this subject, adding that “it is logical that they draw lots for the champion”, due to the controversy created between the two presenters and which is always open.
Márquez is a regular on “el Hormiguero”, where he has made numerous appearances.
“I've been to Hormiguero several times, but I like La Revuelta,” he expressed his tastes.
Márquez demonstrated that in addition to his speed, he also had a good dose of diplomacy when asked what he would have done and what program he would have participated in.
“If I had to go there tonight… To no one, because I didn't win. It's time to give importance to the champion”, he wanted to promote Martín's work.
The Pramac runner received a lot of criticism when part of public opinion understood that he could decide which of the two programs would appear first. At that point, Marc was very elegant and tried to make an argument in favor of Jorge: “What happened is not the driver's responsibility,” he said .
