168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez will discover “jealousy” and “tension” within the winning atmosphere at Ducati, predicts Alvaro Ba♍🎀utista.

The unveiling of Gresini Racing and the official Ducati MotoGP team has heightened anticipation for the 2024 season and the fresh battles that ൲await.

Whether Marquez, now riding a൲ GP23 rather than a misfiring Honda, can fi♐ght at the front and how Ducati will manage any internal politics are of tantamount importance.

"It's going to be interesting because there's going to be a lot of competition within the factory,” WorldSBK champion Bautista t🥃old .

“Between now and thﷺe middle of the season everyone will start to go with the knife between their teeth and there will be good fights.

“But I think Ducati can only be proud of this.

"There is su🤪rely jealousy within the Ducati organisational c✱hart because it has always happened.

“I believe that there will come a time in the season where there will be a lot of tension because ♏in 2024 almost all the riders end their contracts.

"I hope that♔ in 2025 I wiܫll have Marc Marquez dressed in red with me at the Ducati presentation.

“Because that will mean that Marquez will bꦚe in the official team and that I will also continue in the official Ducati team in WorldSBK.”

Ev𒈔ery Ducati MotoGP rider will see their contract expire at the end of this year.

How the Italian brand prioritise the renewals, and which rider🍸s prefer to find pastures new, will become clear in the coming months.

But the protagonist of the rider ꦯmarket will, a♍gain, be Marquez.

Ducati will be faced with a tough decision of whether to promote him into their factory te꧑am for 2025 if his performances with Gresini cannot be overlooked.

But Ba♉utista warns: "Between now and next year there is a lot of work t♊o be done.

“I think tไhat for Marc Marquez the most important thing now is that he feels happy with a motorcycle again, that he enjoys a motorcycle.

“That he feels that h👍e can make the most of his potential.

“Let the motorcycle help him a🦩nd I believe that, with that, Marc will be happy.

"I think that when you put together a very, very good rider lik🧔🎃e Marc Marquez with the best bike, well, I think it's easy. One plus one makes two.

“He's going to go fast, he's going to win and - I don't know if he'll win the 2024 MotoGP World Championship - but he will surely win races and fight𒆙 for the World Cꦗhampionship.

“And this will make Ducati raise the level even ൩higher, if possible.

"Because last yeaꦇr they were invincible, winౠning everything.

“And this year, with a rider like Marc…

“I think it is good for Ducati and, at the ♍same time, complicated to mana﷽ge.

“Because Marquez is not a factory rider.

"ꦐI believe that Ducati's mentality is to win. If you can win with the factory rid♕er, good.

“But if the person who wins is someone different but who rওides a Ducati, also good.

“What interests Ducati is that its b😼ikes win.💃 And whoever it is, they will be happy.”
