Marc Marquez and Honda given brutal “children’s bike to an adult bike” comparison

And who made this brutal comparison?
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez issued these words, and🔯 he should know better than most.
Alex 🔴moved from LCR Honda to Gresini Ducati a year ago, and reinvigorated his stagnating career with the help of better mach❀inery.
His esteemed brother Marc will follow him into the Gresini garage a🌜s his teammate this year in an at♍tempt to add a ninth world championship to his CV.
“Going from Honda to Ducati is like leaving a children's bike to go to an adu🍸lt bike,” Alex is quoted by .
“It is much more comfortable and allows you to be competiᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𝐆ᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚtive from the start.
“It giv🔯es you a lot of secur♔ity and better sensations.
💦“Marc [last year] has had more than 🙈30 falls because he has gone above the limit of the bike.
"I have not infl💟uenced Marc at all to come🌄 to Ducati.
“He is very intelligent𝓰, he knows where he came from.
“If you see the Ducati riders, we have a different style and in the end we were all fไast on the bike and that gives a lot of confidence.
"Marc asked me things, and I gave him my opinion as a brothe🐽r.
“I have seen everything that has happened since 2020 and 🧜it has been hard for him.
“Feeling competitive and fi🧸ghting for a title makes your self-confidence return.”
So, how can Marc compete in 20🌌24 wiﷺth the aid of a year-old Desmosedici?
"It's quite early, but I think Marc will be able to fight for the title,” Alex said.&nꦜbsp;
“Valencia is a ci𝓡rcuit that he is good at and he has been ahead.
“He could go fast with a tricycle!”
Alex had finished 14th, 16th and 17t♋h🎐 in his first three years in the premier class with Honda.
He achieved a career-best ninth-placed finish in last year’s MotoGP season, his first with Gresini, which included spri🍌nt race wins at Silverstone and Sepang.
"I have rediscovered myself,” he said.
“At Honda the fi𒊎rst year was good, but the last two at the LCR were ver𒅌y hard.
“When you enter a ve🦹ry negative dynamic you come to doubt yourself.&n𝔍bsp;
“I was lucky enough to go to a team in 2023 small, familiar like the Gresini with a✃ v꧃ery competitive motorcycle.
"2024 will be the year to r🔯eaffir๊m ourselves and position ourselves where we have been.
“We have had good results, but I have perhaps failed too much in temporary 💝moments and I have had a slump in the middle of the season. “Reaching the end of the year fighting for a top ꧃3 is something important regarding contracts.
"There are very competitive motoꦛrcycles, in 2024 the concessions ar😼rive and it will be more equal.
“Dreaming of 🎶an official team is a door that is open, but now I am very good.
“Creatin𒀰g ꦫhigh expectations for myself would make me take steps back.
“Being in the top 5 and making constant podiums and starting tꦕhe year as we have finished will give me a solid base.”
