Francesco Bagnaia crew chief on Jorge Martin: “Easy to be in official team dressed as satellite”

Factory Ducati rider and reigning champion Bagnaia has a 27-point advant✤age above Pramac’s Martin heading into this weekend’s Thailand MotoGP.
Martin, who led the standings for 24 hours in Indonesia, arguably was the biggest victim of the cancelled spr🍃🎉int race at Phillip Island considering he is the most in-form rider vying for the title.
Christian Gabarrini, Bagnaia’s crew chief, told Gazzetta dello Sport: “It's easy to stay in an official team🌃 dressed as a satellite team and have all the benefits of the interna💛l team without any downsides.
“Whatever happens, Martin will have don♌e well. But Pramac is an official team.”

The two factory Ducati riders and the𒀰 Pramac duo all ride latest-spec machines, while the VR46 and Gre💃sini pairs have year-old bikes.
No satellite rider has won the premier ꦓclass championship since 2001 when Valentಌino Rossi succeeded for Honda.
Gabarrini, who has also won MotoGP titles with Casey Stoner as🗹 well as working alongside Jorge Lo💜renzo, is pitted against Martin’s crew chief Daniele Romagnoli.
“Daniele and I go on car𝄹 trips with lots of chatting about music and other things, we get along very well,” Gabarrini said.
“The challenge is among the riders, we technicians try to♈ do our best. 🍎The best one will win.”
What is Ma🐟rtin’s weakness as the tiꦓtle battle intensifies?
“I don't know and 𒁃if I📖 did I would prefer not to say,” Gabarrini said.
“Seeing hi𝔉s data would be incorrect, a bit maliciouওs.”
The MotoGP season has four rounds s♌till to goܫ, beginning in Indonesia this weekend.
“Whoever is more calm, serene and concentrated, will prevail,” ꧂Gabarrini warned.
