168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro has offered a prediction about 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez’s season which might worry their MotoGP rivals.

The Portuguese MotoGꦜജP at Portimao, the second round of the 2024 campaign, is this weekend.

Marquez is still adjusting to his year-old Duca෴ti but a P4 finish at the season-opener in Qatar represented progress from his drab final year 🌳with Honda.

The chat in the pa♌ddock is about how far Marquez can truly go when he is ༒fully acclimated to his new bike.

"Marc is, without a doub🔜t, the most talented rider in the championship🐬,” Espargaro, who has known him since they were both children, was quoted by .

“🌳With the best bike on the grid..🧜. one plus one equals two.

“We will see how long he takes to get there, but he will be one of ⛄the strongest…

"I know the Gr💦esini team well, since I raced with the Aprilia Gresini team൩.

“The team is v✨ery familiar and pleasant. It has everything to show that it can w🅰in.”

But Espargaro also knows that the form and consistency of reigning champion Franceꦍsco Bagnaia is tough to overcome.

Factory Ducati rider Bagnaia, this year riding the developed GP24, won the first grand prix of the year to begin h🐭is title defence on top.

"Pecco has a much higher level than🐟 peopl🌼e believe,” Espargaro insisted.

“Because winning two cons💯ecutive titles with the rivalr🀅y that exists is very difficult.

“He is the man to beat.”

Espargaro is we🐓ll known to be close friends with Jorge Martin, his fellow Spaniard who missed out on the championship on the final day of 2023.

Pramac’s Martin won the Qat🎃ar sprint and is immediately Bag𓃲naia’s nearest threat.

"He has shown very🍒 high speed from the last part of the season in 2023 until 𝕴now,” Espargaro noted.

“He will also be the man to beat.”

And what about Espargaro’s own hopes?

In 2022 he finished fourt🔥h in the standings, his best-ever result. He was sixth last year༒.

The oldest rider on the grid, aged 34, is first aiming to establish Aprilia as the nearest contender to t👍he d🌸ominant Ducatis.

But there is optimism🤪 around how Espargaro ♓might fare this season.

"The goal is to finish in the top three💖 of the championship,” he sai🔯d.

“We have be🌱en close for the last two years, I hope this is the right time.”

Espargaro’s first weekend of 2024 was bizarre.

He awoke 🌊on Sunday in Qatar believing he could win, af💦ter a brilliant conclusion to Saturday’s sprint.

But rear grip 💧൲unexpectedly blighted him, and he trudged home in eighth.

Portimao, 𓂃this weekend, offers the next chance to i🐬mpress.
