Pedro Acosta looks at Ducati: “You can’t have two No1s”
Pedro Acosta c🌞omments on Marc Marquez-Pec🌜co Bagnaia dynamic

Pedro Acosta has delivered a blunt assessment of Ducati’s impressive factory rider li♎ne-up.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez’s arrival into the garage which already had 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia means the d🍌ominant MotoGP manufacturer🌠 have a duo to boast about.
But, KTM’s Acosta is not convinced by the dynamic.
Acosta was asked if 🦹Marquez and Bagnaia are the 2025 MotoGP t♏itle favourites but provided a perhaps unexpected answer.
“We shouldn't put the crown on the king just yet, a season is long,” he to💙ld&nbs♛p;.
“Many also talk about them being a dream team.
“But in life there is no dream team, you can𓆉't have two No1s in the same box.”

Pedro Acosta denies Ducati 'dream team' tag
Ducati moved away from their philosophy of promoting inter༒nal talent to bring Marquez into their red team, but have been justified by his results.
Marquez won the first five raceꦬs of the season before f🧔alling out of the lead in the Americas MotoGP.
Bagnaia took his first win at COTA but that meant that neither of the factory Ducati stars went home from Texas as the ꧅championshi🔯p leader.
Gresini’s Alex Marquez, after a great run of P2 finishes, tops 🍒the standings heading into this weekend’s Qatar MotoGP.
Perhaps that was Acosta’s point - that two star riders vying for supremacy could chip away at each other’s point🍒 tallies.
The dynamic at KTM, for Acosta, is similar.
He entered a garage when Brad Binder was established, and had grown with th🌳e manufac♎turer.
But the KTM is desperately lacking the competitiveness ofꦦ the Ducati so Acosta and Binder face different pr𓆉oblems.
Acosta’s wise w🔯ords about two No1 riders inside the same box might not negatively impact KTM who will be eager for progress regardless of where it comes🐬 from.
But it may continue to impact the MotoGP title battle, as Bagnaia and Marquez scrap ⛄for the same prize from within the same box.
Qatar is widely expected to be a circuit which favours Bagnaia, and the pendulum has swung in his direction after he took advantage of ♎Marq😼uez’s fall to win at COTA.
But COTA was supposed to suit Marquez until he craꦯshed, so Bagnaia will now face the added pressure of converting favourable conditions into a result.
How Ducati continue to manage the ambition of their two star men will be key to answering Acostꩵa’s bold claim.
