While ten points separate MotoGP title leader 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin and reigning champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia♛ with foℱur rounds to go, the battle for third is even closer.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini is just two points clear of his 2025 factory Ducati replacement 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez heading into Phillip Island this weekend.

Bastianini and Marquez, riding the older GP23 bike for Gresini, have both taken two grand 𒊎prix victories so far this season.

And while Martin and Bagnaia are yet to lock horns in battle, Bastianini and Marquez have diced several times already ﷺthis season, including at t🌃he previous Japanese round.

Bastianini got the better of Marquez in the Motegi Sprint before the eight-time world champion turned the tables, beating ‘The B✅east’ to third place by half-aꦍ-second in the grand prix.

“About the battle between E🌟nea and Marc, I think ꦫit will be fair like always, like we saw in Japan,” said Bagnaia.

“I think t💃he battles between Enea andꩵ Marc are quite spicy every time. We saw it in Mugello, in Assen, [in Mandalika], last time in Japan...

“So I think it will be a great battle between them and I꧑ think they are also strong enough to fight with us here, also Thailand and Malaysia because their potential is very similar and close to ours.

“I think their battle will be matched to our battle 🎉[for the title✱].”

Meanwhile, asked on Thursday if he agreed 𓆏with Martin’s prediction tha💦t the title chase is an equal 50-50 between him and Pecco, Marquez replied:

“I would say 55-45. Martin at the momeꦉnt has a ten-point lead. So he starts these last four races with a small advantage.

“But in the eℱnd, they are super equal, the level is there for both of them.”

With Marquez chosen to join Bagnaia at Ducati Lenovo next seas🍬on, Bastianꦿini is switching to Tech3 KTM.
