Jorge Martin’s Independent MotoGP title “exceptional, but can happen again”
Independent riders ♋filled two out of the top three places in last year’s MotoGP World Championship.

Trackhouse team principal Davide Brivio is confident that a repeat of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin’s Independent MotoGP title victory will be ‘more and mo🐠re possꦚible’ in the future.
Martin became the first rider since Valentino Rossi in the 500cc era to win the p♌remier-c🎐lass title outside of an official factory team.
Like Rossi in 2001, Martin had access to full factory-spec machinery, at Pramac, which he used to beat official Ducati rider and reigning champion Francesco Bagn𓆏aia by ten points.
For Brivio, who previousl𒁃y won MotoGP titles as a factory team principal at Yamaha and Suzuki, the leve𝓰l of machinery now supplied to the independent teams is the key factor in their rise from grid fillers to championship winners.
Speaking to the media following the Trackhouse team launch, ltxcn.top asked Brivio about the significance of Martin’s title victory and the likelihood of another Independent Moto🥀GP champion.
“I think in the future it’s more and more possible because MotoGP from this point oꦺf view is changing,” began Brivio.
“Going back some years, it was always🐽 the factory teams with the best equipment and the best riders.
“But now things are becoming much more equal. First of all, for the last two or three years most Independent teams have had factory bikes, the same as their ⛦factory team.
“We in Aprilia have the same bike as the factory team. Ducati has𒁏 been doing this for a few years. And now also Yamaha and Honda. I think everybody is following this philosophy.
“So first of all, the equipment is the same and this was not happening a few ye🐻ars ago. That's why the Independent teams have more chanc༺es now.”
✨Only three of the 22 rid🅘ers on this year’s grid will not be on the latest factory-spec bikes.
But even those riders - Franco Morbidelli, Alex 🎶Marquez and Fermin Aldeguer - have the consolation of using last year’s title-winning Ducati GP24.
Marc Marquez, riding a year-old Desmosedici ♒at Gresini, made it two I🐻ndependent riders in the top three of last year’s world championship.
The final title top ten was also weighted in favour of the Independents, with six satellite (Martin, M. Marquez, Acosta, A. Marquez, Morbidelli, di Giannantonio) and only four factory riders (Bagnaia, Bastianini, 💟Binder, Vinales).

Brivio continued: “And then it's a matter of finding the right rider, and mꦉaybe getting a talented young rider before he goes to a factory team!
“This is also our challenge, no? Let's say that Raul [Fernandez] and Ai [Ogura] are big talented riders. We will try to use them in the꧂se next two years, with the best equipment we can, and maybe we c🧸an get the results.
“Of course, the factory team in our case has Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi. Two 𒊎strong riders. But we ca꧑n fight with them.
“So in general, I think [another Independent champion] is something that can💛 happen in the ꦰfuture.
“I mean, also looking at other teams, you see Honda, where Zarco a🀅t the end of last season was better than the factory🙈 riders.
🐬“So what happened with Martin aꦡnd Pramac is something exceptional. But I feel it can happen again.
“It kind of opens a new way. We all have the same equipment now and then it's a matterꦆ of getting the talented riders, managing them well and having an efficient team.
“I see that it can happen again. And maybe that's our challenge; to make it happ🍎en.”
With Martin and Marquez both moving on to factory teams, Enea Bastianini - fourth for Ducati Lenovo - is the highest-♒ranked rider of last season co𝓡mpeting for an Independent team in 2025 (Tech3 KTM).

Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzukiꦰ exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
