168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez is no longer seen as an “alien” by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio di Giannantonio.
Marquez enters this weekend’s French MotoGP at Le Mans hopeful of a first victory on a Ducati, after insisting his adaptation to a n൲ew bike is complete.
But Di Giannantonio, who rides the same GP23 Ducati as Marquez, has suggested that the eight-time 🌸world champion is not striking fear into his rivals anymore.
VR46’s Di Giannantonio told that h♉e notices how Gresini’s Marquez rides the Ducati when on-track together.
“Yes, it's always Marc in his 🔴riding style,” he said.
“He enters corners very strongly, heꦇ is very agg🔥ressive.
“He rides very well and goes very fast.
“I feel like I'm at an excellent level and while maybe in my🌞 debut in MotoGP I saw him a little more from♑ afar, now I no longer see him as an alien.
“Obviously I have great respect for him because🐬 he is a champion and when he rides he has his magic, but I don't see him as unattainable.
“I see him as a rival and even when I study✅ him I don't see big differences."
Di Giannantonio - who was replaced ๊at Gresini by Marquez last year, before finding his career-best form - has benefitted from an extra two years of adaptation to the Ducati.
He sees similaritiꦺes with how Marquez uses his new machinery.
“The very particular thing is that I see from the data that we use g🌄as in a very, very similar way,” he said.
“It's something that sometimes amazes me.
“Being close to the guidance of an ෴eight-time worlꦬd champion is not bad."
Marquez has won three grands prix at Le Mans but arrives for his Dℱucati debut at the track in France needing to mak𝕴e up ground in the championship fight.
He is sixth in t♒he MotoGP standings, 32 points behind leader Jorg🅺e Martin.
But fact✨ory Ducati duo Francesco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini are also ahead of Marquez.
This weekend’s French MotoGP also comes with the added ♏storyline of the 2025 rider market.
Ducati are considering their big decision𒀰 of who to pair with Bagnaia in their ‘25 factory team.
Marquez, Bastianini and Martin are the contend𝐆ers.
