Marco Bezzecchi’s verdict on being overlooked in hunt for 2025 factory Ducati
Marco Bꦛezzecchi clear on which rider deserves ꦐto join Francesco Bagnaia in the factory Ducati team for 2025.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi insists he’s not upset to be absent from the shortlist of names for Francesco Bagnaia’s 2025 factory Ducati MotoGP team-mate.
That contest looks to be a duel between Jorge Martin or Marc Marquez, with current o🅰ccupant Enea Bastianini as an outside bet.
“I'm not upset because♔ at the moment they deserve this [chance] more,” Bezzecchi said at Catalunya on Thursday.
“Of course I show🦂ed good things last year, so I think൲ that I deserve also a factory seat. But at the moment it’s normal that they look at them. So I don't blame anyone.
“For the moment my target is just to come back very strong. If I achieve this, then I will have more possibility to look around and to try to have a factory seat, which is the target of every Moto෴GP rider.
“For me, it's normal that it's like this [now]. I think that Martin, first of all, but also Marc and Bastꦯia🅰nini, they deserve this more.”
Of the trio, Bezzecchi, third 🍌in last year’s MotoGP world championship with three wins fo꧟r VR46, is clear which deserves it most.
“Martin. Martin for me is the one that de💟serves this more because last year he fought for the championship and this year he's leading by a good amount of points. He won already two GPs. Many Sprints, I don't know how many but anyway he’s very fast!”
“Martin in this moment is in a very good shape. Then it all depends on when he makes a mistake that he doesn't expect,” the Italian added. “Then in your mind comes a different situation, b🦄ut for sure he's very strong.
“I think he’s stronger than last year because, for example, in Jerez he made a ꧃mist﷽ake but he recovered very well.
“But Pecco is also very good.”
Bezzecchi then caused some amusement by compar🎉in🌌g his friend and reigning double MotoGP champion to a two-stroke engine that sometimes runs a bit rich or lean but is unstoppable when the correct mixture is found.
Although former team-mate Luca Marini has gone to Repsol Honda to🦄 fulfil his fac🅘tory dream this season, Bezzecchi said he would find it hard to walk away from the competitiveness of the Ducati.
“Of course, I have the ambition to be in a facto𒅌ry team. But I want also to fi෴ght to have good races," he said.
“The Ducati fortunately is very competitive, even if he's 🧔not a factory bike. I will see what possibilities I have [for 2025]. I have to think about it. But at the moment, I don’t have many!”
Bezzecchi has taken one podium so far this season, at Jerez, then fell twice at Le Mans, including from a rostrum place late in the 🔴Sprint.
“In Le Mans I was fast, bu🔯t I didn't bring home🎉 any results. So hopefully I can have the same speed or better but also bring home something positive here,” he said of the Catalunya round.
