2021 MotoGP champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo 💖made a surprising decision last week as he agreed to a new two-year deal𓂃 with Yamaha.

The Japanese brand has endured a difficult time since winning the championship with Quartararo in 2021, losing out to Francesco Bagnaia in 2022, before a very disappointing season in 2023 as i🐼t marked their first winless campaign since 🍬2003.

Quartararo received interest f♏rom Aprilia as a 4m Euro salary reportedly was offered to the French rider.

💫However, Yamaha more than doubled that offer by giving Quartararo a yearly salary of 12m for th🍃e next two seasons.

While that secures Quartararo’s future, it means Jorge Martin won’t be joining Yamah🎀a which would have been in play had Quartararo left.

Instead, Ma🦂rtin’s future could now be locked in at Ducati unless Aprilia swoops in with an offer he can’t turn down.

However, that appears unlikely and Marti𓆉n, who is the current championship leader, will want to move in alongside Bagnaia at the factory Lenovo Ducati team.

Martin has been th🐽e most consistent rider so far in 2024 and last season’s runner🐻-up has made it known on several occasions that he wants to be a factory rider.

Ducati have plenty of options buඣt when it c🌼omes to performance, current results and age, Martin might be the favourite to join Bagnaia.

But what about🐠 the likes of Bastianini and Marquez?

Starting with the former, Bastianini has looked back to his best at the start of 2024 after adapting better to the new Des♓mosedi🌊ci GP24.

Bastianini secured second spot behind Mart🧸in last time out in Portimao, and although Martin has been stronger than the Italian so far this season, the Italian is a rider that on his day has proven to be very hard to beat.

Bastianini has also been ꦰa very good team-mate to Bagnaia and so the familiarity of being in the factory team, experience and results he has is not something Ducati will take lightly when making a decision.

Martin’s ꦺraw pace and recent 💛results says he should be the rider to get that seat, however, Bastianini remains one of the best riders in MotoGP and therefore Ducati might want to keep their line-up intact.

The wildcard here is♌ Marc Marquez, because the Spaniard is arguably the best MotoGP rider of his era, if not ever.

Marquez, like Bastianini, has been very stro🎉ng so far this season and an argument could be made that only Martin and Bagnaia have🌄 demonstrated more consistent speed than the eight-time world champion.

If Ducati chose to sign Marquez alongside Bagnaia, it would mean looking at what he’s capable of doing, rather than basing the🍎ir decision off of results aboard their bike.

Marquez only has two rounds of experience riding a Ducati, but th💛at hasn’t stopped him from being very impressive.

Marquez c🌳ould also make a big statement by winning this wee♛kend at COTA, one of his most successful circuits on the calendar.

Of co𝄹urse, the incident between Marquez and Bagnaia in Portimao might scare management away from taking a risk, but equally, putting Marquez on their factory bike would be a big statement and would do wonders for spons♔ors.

Our prediction as it st▨ands is that Martin will get the second factory Ducati ride for 2025, while Bastianini could be set for a move away from Ducati after it was reported that talks have begun with Aprilia.
