Eig༺ht-time world champion Marc Marquez doubtsꦇ Ducati domination in 2025 MotoGP

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has hit back at predictions the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:factory Ducati team will finish 1-2 in every race in 2025, noting ‘you don’t know what MotoGP is if you think this’.
Ducati has assembled the strongest line-up in its history and one of MotoGP’s best ever, as it pairs Marquez with double premier class champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia for 2025.
Even with Ducati electing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:to race its 2024 engine and start the🐈 year on an older chassis and aero kit, the factory duo remain the hot favourites to win the championship this season.
Various paddock voices🦋 have suggested every grand prix in 2025 will be between Marquez and Bagnaia, though the former has hit back at t🐻hese claims.
“I hope to share many podiums with Pecco, because in the end we need to paint the world champi⛎onship in red at the end of the season,” he said on Thursday ahead of the Thai Grand Prix.
“Of course, I will push for a #93 red, he will pus🔴h for💦 #63 red.
“Apart from that, we we are in MotoGP, every♛one is fast and 🌊if you expect [Bagnaia and myself to be] first and second in every race weekend, you don’t know what MotoGP is.
“There will b🌞e a lot of fights between different riders, different conditions, rain, damp conditions. So, the championship is quite long but consistency is important.”
Marquez pointed out several names he considers as threats to fight for individual race win🐟s across the season, but stressed that “consistency is the moღst important thing”.
“All Ducati riders can fight for the win because we start with a s🌃imilar base,” he added.
“Of course, in the factory team during the year we will꧒ work a lot on different small details that the engineers have already started on, a way that I think will ♏be better.
“But we cann♔ot forget [Pedro] Acosta. I would like to say [Jorge] Martin, but unfortunately he is not here, [Marco] Bezz🔯ecchi.
“The consistency i🎉s the most important. In a single race, many riders can be fast and many riders can win a race.”

Marc Marquez “ready” to fight for 2025 title
Marquez hasn’t fought for a world title in MotoGP since his sixth premier class crown in 2019, with injur💫y and declining form from the Honda halting his charge.
Having had a stroℱng winter on the GP25, Marqu𓃲ez says he feels “ready” to fight for the championship this year.
Asked if he could compare the start of this season to his other title years, Marquez said: “I mean, of course I feel that I’m ready t🐻o fight for the championship.
“Of course, tꦐhe championship is super long and you don’t know what will happen. Bu🐼t I feel ready.
“In ’13 I didnꦆ’t feel ready, so we can say that ’17, ’18, ’19 I felt ready but then you never what will happen.
“So, let’s see. Pre-season has been good - not only here [in Thailand] but also in Malaysia, which for m𝔍e it was mo♏re important in Malaysia than here, and from now on let’s see how we can adapt in different race tracks.”
He added: “Has been a good winter, especꦦially I feel since Catalunya when I tried thಌe bike.
“The emotions inside the box, I felt ok, and by the days it was better and betteꦇr.
“Not only here… here is a cꦉircuit that I like, but it’s not the best one, but also in Malaysia I felt good with the bike, I felt fast, riding in a good way.
“But testing is testing, racing is racing. I think we did🦩 a good job between me and Pecco. We have a good base, balance, and for me we have the best bike to fight for the championship.”
