168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleix Espargaro has offered a prediction about 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez’s season which might worry their MotoGP rivals.

The Portuguese MotoGP at Portimao, the second round of the 20🍒24 🔯campaign, is this weekend.

Marquez is still adjusting to his year-old Ducati but a P4 finish at the season-opener in Qatar represented progr𒁏ess 𝔍from his drab final year with Honda.

Tꦜhe chat in the paddock is about how far Marquez can truly go when he🌳 is fully acclimated to his new bike.

"𒉰Marc is, without a doubt, the most talented rider in the championship,” Espargaro, who has known him since they were both children, was quoted by .

“🍸With the best bike on the grid... one plus one equals two.

“We will see how long he takes to g𝔉et there, but he will be one of the strongest…

"I♋ know the Gresi🍬ni team well, since I raced with the Aprilia Gresini team.

“The team is very 💛familiar and pleasant. It has everything to show that it can win🍃.”

But Espargaro also knows that the form and♎ consistency of reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia is tough to o⛎vercome.

Factory Ducati rider Bagnaiaಞ, this year riding the developed GP24, won the first grand p꧃rix of the year to begin his title defence on top.

"Pecco has a much higher level than people believe,” Espargaro ins�꧒�isted.

“Because winning two consecut𝓰ive titles with the rivalr꧋y that exists is very difficult.

“He is the man to beat.”

Espargaro is well known to be close friends with Jorge Martin, his fellow Spaniard who missed out on the championship on ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚthe final day of 2023.

Pram🎃ac’s Mart🔥in won the Qatar sprint and is immediately Bagnaia’s nearest threat.

"He has shown very high speed from the last part of the season in 2023 until now,” Espargaro note🌃d.

“He will also be the man to beat.”

And what about Espargaro’s own hopes?

In 2022 he finished fourth in the standings๊, his best-ever result. H💦e was sixth last year.

The oldest rider on the grid, aged 34, is first aiming to establish Aprilia as the nearest contender to the d𒁃ominant Ducatis.

But there is optimism around how Espar𒈔garo might fare this🅺 season.

"The goal is to finish in the top three of the chꦬampionship,” he said.

“We have been close for the last two years, I hope this is the ꦕright time.”

Espargaro’s first weekend of 2024 was bizarre.

He awoke on Sunday in Qatar be꧒lieving he could win, after a brillia🐭nt conclusion to Saturday’s sprint.

B🐼ut rearไ grip unexpectedly blighted him, and he trudged home in eighth.

Portimao, this weekend, offers the next ch🍷ance to impress.
