Valentino Rossi: “Luca Marini will find the right day | Luca Morbidelli must earn place”
Bezzecchi won his first-ever grand prix in A⛦rgentina, the first victory for Rossi’s Mooney ღVR46 team, while reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia has already become the first Academy graduate to win the title.
But 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Luca Marini and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franco Morbidelli have not been overlooked by ‘The Doctor’.
Marini, Rossi’s brother, clꦿaimed his first MotoGP podium finish last time out at the Grand Prix of the Americas.
Eerily, Rossi’s penultimate MotoGP podium was also at C𝔍OTA - on both occasions, Alex Rins won the race.
Rossi told La Gazzetta dello Spor🌺t about Marini: “He lacks victory but he is g꧒rowing.
“He always works hard, let's hope it arrives soon. It'sꦍ about finding the right day, the right feಌeling with the bike.
“But🌄 he is there, because Luca is very, 🤡very fast.”
Yamaha rid﷽er Morbidelli entered 2023 with major pressure on him, and rumours that he would be replaced for ꦦnext year.
Jorge Martin continues to be heavily linked to his seat, and Toprak Razgatlıoglu’s recent test kept the rumo🌼ur mill swirling.
But Morbidelli has shown better-than-๊expected pace, even outperforming teammate Fabio Quartaཧraro over the first two rounds, and finishing fourth in Argentina.
It has led Yamaha mana𝔉ging director Lin Jarvis to admit that Morbidelli remains their No 1 priority for 2024 - if he sustains this early form.
Rossi said about Morbidelli: “We are delighted because at Termas w💙e saw Franco again, which we need to know.
“It's a very impo❀rtant moment for him, because in these races he ♔has to try to be competitive to earn his place even in the next few years.
“In the meantime, having a race like this is very important for morale, because he has first of all demonstrated to himself that he is there, that he can stand there in front. 🔴;
“But Argentina is a particular trac☂k, I would wait for the next ones to see, hoping that it will be competitive, that it will be able to be at the level of Quartararo also in the next races.”
