168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez says he is “not going to gi♕ve any advice” to Jorge Martin to help the Spaniard in his quest for the 2024 MotoGP title.

Coming 🍌into this weekend’sꦅ Indonesian Grand Prix at Mandalika, Martin leads the championship by 24 points after finishing second last week at the Emilia Romagna GP.

Having seen his lead o🎃ver Francesco Bagnaia shrink to just four points after the Misano spriꩵnt, a crash for the latter boosted the Pramac rider’s advantage.

Sixty pointsဣ covers the top fo🍎ur in the standings with six rounds remaining, with Marquez fourth in that ranking and publicly ruling himself out as a main title protagonist.

Indeed, when asked how he was coping with the pressure of a championship at this stage of a season, the Gresini riderꦬ was quoted by : “Forജ me, I already achieved my targets for this season.

“So, keep enjoying it will be the key.”

Last year, Marquez backed Martin to win the championship in the latter stages of the season because t🅠he Pramac ride༺r had no expectations on him as a satellite team competitor.

Asked following the press conference in his Spanish debrief at Mandalika what ad♏vice he would have for Martin now, Marquez says his fellow Spaniard is on his own.

“I'm not going to give hi🧸m any advice,” Marq🎐uez noted.

“According to you, I'm still alive in the fight.

“I'm not going to give any advice to ri🥃vals who are on the track or to future rivals.

“I'm not thinking about winning the title thi🌟s year, but Martin is a current rival and will be one in the future.

“So, why should I give advice to my rival? I'll giveꩲ it to my brother and 🥀that's it.”

Marquez has never finished a grand prix at Mandalika before, having crashed heavily in warm-up in 2022 and fallen out 🧸of contention during last year’s event.

But his target remains finishing insid💜e the top five this weekend in Indonesia on his GP23.

“Will be intere♓sting to understand where we are here,” the Gresini rider added.

“I♎t’s true that last year… well, I’ve never finished a race here in Indone📖sia because in 2022 I had that massive crash in the warm-up here.

“Time to understand our level 𝐆here and the target will be to be again in that top four, top five positions.

“It’s a track that I like. It’s not one of my favourites, but it’s a track that Iﷺ like that has been in a normal level, not super good. I’m looking forward to understanding it with the Ducati.”
