Marc Marquez may “embarrass factory riders” | Francesco Bagnaia told “don’t poke the bear”

Marquez will ride a year-old Desmosedici when he joins Gresini Racꦰing in 2024, giving him the 🌺machinery to finally draw the most out of his talent.
Marquez’s arrival at the Italian manufacturers - and his ability to beat ꦺrival🦋s on a lesser bike - could spark new rivalries within MotoGP’s dominant team.
“No disrespect to Gresini becauseﷺ Ducati provide good machinery to all their teams,” Michael Laverty said to TNT Sports.
“But look at the pecking order - it’s factory 𝕴Ducati, Pramac Ducati, VR46 arguably, then Grཧesini.
“It is the fourth string team but look💜 at what Enea Bastia🔴nini did there.
“Marc has an opportunity to embarrass the factory D♕ucati riders. Jorge Martin won’t want him there! Pecco has made some comments…”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, the reigning MotoGP champion who sits 18 points clear of Martin at the top of the standings ahead of this weekend’s Australian MotoGP, gave an interesting response to Marquez’s confirmation 🐎that he w🍸ill join Ducati.
“It will be nice to share data with him, it will be interesting to see what he’s💛 doing,” Bagnaia said.
“But it will be good competit𝐆ion for him. We are eight riders, very competitive, and it will be i✤nteresting…
“I don’t 𒁏know if he’ll fight for the championship but he’ll be in the top five, for sure.”
TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson react𝕴ed to those words: “I respe🐓ct Pecco for saying that.
“Everyone was saying ‘Marc will be amazing’ but he said ‘no, I’m ☂the champion, I’ll tell you what I think, yes he will go well, he’ll definitely be in the top 🅷five…’
““We all smiled. Don’t poke the bear!
We lost a bit of that in MotoGP. We’re all h💝ugging i😼n parc ferme. I like a bit of spice!”
