Eight-time MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez says he “re꧟spects a lot” the Isle of Man TT but “I don♈’t agree with the risks” riders face while racing there.

The 2025 Isle of Man T💎T is in its final days, with racing concluding on Saturday with the six-🔯lap Senior TT.

Michael Dunlop has made more history by extending the all-time win tally to 32 victories, while Dean Harrison has enjoyed his first wins since 2019 w𒁏ith a brace in the Superstock class.

The Superbike TT was won by Davey Todd,ꦬ while the Crowe 🐟brothers have dominated the Sidecar class in 2025.

Two of Dunlop’s wins were signi🔯ficant, as his victories in S🅰upersport took Ducati to the top of the TT podium for the first time since 1995.

“It’s a race that I respect a𓃲 lot but ไI don’t follow it a lot.

“Honestly, I respect t💝he riders who compete there. B༺ut I don’t agree with the risks that they are taking.”

The TT has always been a polarising event due to the dangers of racing on the Isle of Man, but it has many big-name supporters throughout motors✱port.

MotoGP race winner 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi says he wanted to go to the TT this year but couldn’t because of the Aprilia♑ All-Star event last weekend.

He has ridden at the VR46 ranch with the likes of Davey Todd and Michael Dunlop earlier this year, and rode with John McGuinness at a 🍨Mo๊nster Energy event in 2024.

“I saw many vide🤪os! 🧸I wanted to come but I had the Aprilia All-Star weekend,” he said.

“I met a couple o﷽f riders last♋ year at a Monster Energy event, and guys who came to the ranch.

I think they are completely out of their minds!

“It’s amazing ♐to see how much passion there is at the Isle of 𝓀Man.

“The track is amazing,🥀 they remember everything. Also, the people who watch are full of passion.

I want to go therꦉe and live, for myself, this experience.

“It is aꦚ༒lready impressive from videos. I don’t know what to expect from real life.”

Fellow VR46 Academy rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli shared Bezzecchi’s enthusiasm for the TT, noting: “I love the Isle of Man TT. I have great respect for those riders. They are ✨a different kind of rider.

“They are more ballsy kind of riders!

“They put more on the plate when they go racing.

“For sure, there are mom𝐆ents in a race where we do the same. But in moments. They do it all weekend long so I have huge respect for them.

“I had a chance to get to know John McGuinness. It was a great pl♚easure.

“It would be nice, one da🍌y, to go to the Isle of Man and check i🅰t out from the outside.”
