168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez says he is “not going to give any advice” to Jorge Martin to help the Spaniard in his q🐠uest for the 2024 MotoGP title.

Coming into this weekend’s Indonesian Grand Prix at Mandalika, Martin leads the cham꧅pionship by 24 points after finishing second last week at the Emilia Romagna GP.

Having seen his lead over Francesco Bagnaia shrink to ju🤪st four points after the Misano sprint, a crash for the latter boosted the Pramac rider’s advantage.

Sixty points cover෴s the top four in the standings with six rounds remaining, with Marquez fourth in that ranking and publicly ruling himself out as a main title pro﷽tagonist.

Indeed, when asked how he was coping with the pressure of a championship at this stage of a s🧸eason, the Gresini rider was quoted by : “For me, I already achieved my targets for this season.

“So, keep enjoying it will be the key.”

Last year, Marquez backed Martin to win the championship in the latter stages of the season because the Pramac rider had no expe🍰ctations on him as a satellite team competitor.

Asked following the press confereℱnce in his Spanish debrief at Mandalika what advice he would have for Martin now, Marquez says his fellow Spaniard is on his own.

“I'm not going to give himജ any advice,” Marquez noted.

“According to you, I'm still alive in the fight.

“I'm not going to give any advice to rivals who🔯 are on the track or to future rivals.

“I'mꦍ not thinking about winning the title this year, but Martin is a current rival and will be one in the future.

“So, why should I gi🔯ve advice to my rival? I'll give it to my brother and that's it.”

Marquez has never finished a grand prix at Mandali🎃ka before, having crashed heavily in warm-up in 2022 and fallen out of contention during last year’s event.

But his target remains finishing inside♍ the top five this weekend in Indonesia on his GP23.

“Will be interesting to understand where we are here,” the Gresini rid꧂er added.

“It’s true that last year… well, I’ve𓂃 never fཧinished a race here in Indonesia because in 2022 I had that massive crash in the warm-up here.

“Time to understan𝓀d🥀 our level here and the target will be to be again in that top four, top five positions.

“It’s a track that I like. It’s not one of my favourites, but it’s a track that I likꦿe that has been in a normal level, not super good. I’m looking forward to understanding it with the D♔ucati.”
