Pol Espargaro believes either 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez could have joined KTM for next season.

The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP rider line-up is taking shape after Marqu🐟ez won the fight for the factory Ducati seat, leaving Martin to go to Aprilia.

KTM will field Brad Binder and Pedro Acosta in their official team, and Maverick Vinales and Enea Bastianini in a new-look Tech3 s𒆙quad with factory machinery.

"I 🦩know that Jorge Martin has had the option of getting on a motorcycle from the Pierer Mobility Group," KTM test 🗹rider Espargaro told .

"That he has hꦫad an offe🍬r to be able to get on a [KTM].

“Just as Martín has had it, probably, I'm just talking about it, Marquez must have had ܫit and other top riders have had it.

“In other words, it means that the factory is betting, trying to bet on top 🌠riders.”

KTM have insisted that they never held serious talks with Marquez, w𝕴ho also played down any contact.

Pramac’s Martin is leading📖 the MotoGP championship ahead of the next round, at Assen next weekend.

Factory st🌌ar and champion Pecco Bag🔯naia is 17 points behind Martin.

Gresini’s Marquez, ಌon a year-old bike, is trailing i🌜n third, 35 behind Martin.

Espargaro commented: "Either Jorge Martin is better or worse than Marquez because Marc has an older bike, it is very difficult to know exactly💞 who is better.

“𝔉We talk about the best because he wins more titles 🐻not because he is better at riding.

“Maybe you take Bagnaia and put him ♛on a KTM and he starts winning, or as happened with Jack Miller, he doesn't win, and J🦂ack had just won with Ducati.

“Or you take Luca Marini who was making podiums with Ducati and put him on a Honda and he has been [finishing] last in all the♛ races, and he was making podiums with the Ducati.

“Is Marini ﷺaꦏ worse rider now this year? Well, I don't think so.

“Is Alex Rins a worse rider now th🌠an when he won with the Suzuki? Well, I don't think so.

“Therefore, it is very d🐽ifficult to know if a rider is better or worse.

"That he earns more, that he has more titles, that he is better in the media, that he ꦕis better commercially, I agree.

“But a better ride⭕r? W✨e have to be careful about that…”

Espargaro insisted that KTM can൲ soon boast the best rider in🙈 MotoGP.

“Does Brad Binder have t𝄹he same tools right now as Pecco? Well n𒁏o,” he said.

“Has Pecco h😼ad the same tools that Pedro Acosta has right now?

“What would Pedro Acosta be doing on a Ducati?

"The factories work as hard as they can to be the best o𒉰n the grid and I am convinced that KTM will reach the point where Ducati is sooner or later.

“But we talk 🦋about the best riders because of the titles they♎ have, as is normal, but...

“I mean, are they tꦚhe best riders? I mean, is Pecco better than, for example, Pedro Acosta right now, with what he is doing with GasಌGas?”
