Jorge Martin: Pecco Bagnaia surpassed Casey Stoner, so where does this position me?
"In terms of riding I have nothing to envy to r🤡iders from another era.”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin has admitted that♛ he wished a legend, such as Casey Stoner, was involved in his MotoGP title battle.
Martin edged Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez to the 2024 prem💝ier class championship.
He insists the quality of the o🌞pposition is key to how iconic his achievement will be remembered as.
“Obviously I would have liked to play for a world championship against the greatest, against Valentino Rossi, against Marc Marquez, who is al𓂃ready on track,” Martin told .
“For example against Sto🦂ner, against man🍷y of those that I have lived through at the time when I was a child and I watched motorcycles from home.
“That was where I wante☂d to see myself and now I am in that positi𒈔on.
“But in the end these are tꦚimes, now there's Pecco and he's the one I've had to beat. And th📖en there's Marquez, who's the one I've had to beat.
“So, Iꦛ consider that Marquez is the ❀best in history along with Valentino, and Pecco is entering that group.
“With the rไesults he's doing, for me h🧔e's already surpassed Stoner, for example.
“And I have b𝐆eaten Pecco, so wherꦛe does this position me?
“Nor is it to brag. I have my feet on the ground, I know that I still have a lot ൩to do, but it is clear that I consider myself at a sporting level at their level.
“The value of a championship is given to you by your rivals. So, if the rivals are good, the championship will have more value and if they are not so gooꦯd, then it will not.
“I think in the era we're in, with Marquez, Pecco... right now the level is ver🧸y high. The value of this championship is very high.
“But then, at the level of marketing or at the level of what Valentino moveᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚd, it wilꦚl surely be almost impossible to reach those numbers, of audiences or sales, but in the end I can't control that.
“I know ꦑthat in terms of riding I have nothing to envy to riders from another era.”
Stoner won two MotoGP titleﷺs, in 2007 with Ducati and in 2011 with Honda.
His title with Ducati preceded 15 years of hurt for the manufactuꦛrer, before Bagnaia won in 2022.
Bagnaia’s consecutive titles meant he drew lev𒁃el with Stoner’s tally.
Rossiꦯ has nine world titles overall, and Marquez dreams of levelling that total this season.
