168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez will not swiftly ꧑become the top Ducati rider, insists the KTM boss.

This weekend’s 2024 season-opening Qatar MotoGP is Marquez’s highly-aℱnticipated Ducati debut with G💫resini.

But the riders more hotly tipped to be the frontrunners are the trio riding the GP24 - Francesco Bagnaia, Enea Ba🧜stianini and Jorge Martin.

Marquez, still adju🥀sting to the GP23 after 11 years at♔ Honda, has unknown potential.

“Marc is a brilliant rider ✃and now has a very powerful bike,” said KTM motorsport director Pit Beirer to .

“This combination will be very dangerous.

"I don't think he wilꦺl become🐽 the new No1 at Ducati and make a leap in quality.

Beirer insisted that Marquez "will havဣe strong competition in his own camp".

He named Bagnaia as an "incredible champion” and warned that Martin "has the knife between his teeth" after narrowly ꦅmissing the 2023 title and a promotion to the factory team.

Marc Marquez ‘mentality’ noted ahead of Qatar MotoGP

But Marquez has received backing on his Ducati debꦕut from Pol Esp💎argaro.

Espargaro spent two years as Marquez’s Repsol Honda teammate in 🐷a difficult injury-riddled period for the eight-time wor♔ld champion.

"If you ask Marc Marquez he will tell you that he is nಞot there to fight for podiums and victories,” Espargaro told .

“Marc Marquez is one of those riders who knows he can a🌜lwa🔯ys win.

𒀰“It is that type of mentality that is ve🍸ry necessary in MotoGP.

“Marc has demonstrated it for many years, also on bikes that have not been at the level, ওwhi🦩ch he has always been.

“And he has been able to fig𓆉ht for races that seemed impossible.

“Therefore, Marquez knows, and I think he is convinced, thaಞt he can win.

“And it is something that we are going to enjoy ever﷽y race weekend.

“He 🍎has a lot to prove and we'll see📖 if it starts here in Qatar…”
