168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez will not swiftly ♛become the top Ducati rider, insists the KTM boss.

This weekend’s 2024 season-opening Qatar MotoGP is Marquez’s highly-anticipated Ducati debut with Gresin𝓡i.

But the riders more hotly tipped to be the frontrunners are the trio riding the GP24 - Fran💟cesco Bag🦋naia, Enea Bastianini and Jorge Martin.

Marquez, still adjusting to the GP23 after♋ 11 years at Honda, has u🦹nknown potential.

“Marc is a brilliant rider and now has a very powerful bike,” said KTM motorsport directo🧸r Pit Beirer to .

“This combination will be very dangerous.

"I don't think he wi⛦ll become the new No1 at Ducati and make a leap in quality.

Beirer insi🎃sted t🍌hat Marquez "will have strong competition in his own camp".

He named Bagnaia as an "incredible champion” and warned that Mart♓in "has the knife between his teeth" after narrowly missing the 2023 title and a promotion to the factory team.
