Having suggested he’d like to see more ‘spice’ between MotoGP title rivals 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin in the official press conferences, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pedro Acosta was given the chance to ask a question on Thursday at Phillip Is𒉰ꩵland.

After “thinking carefully”, the KTM rookie delivered the following pre-recorded message to the TV camera, which was then played to Martin and Bagnaia:ꦰ “Will the manufacturer [Ducati] inf😼luence the championship battle?”

The backdrop to Acosta’s question not only concerns the fact current leader Martin rides for the sate🧸llite Pramac squad and reigning current champion Bagnaia the official factory team.

It also refers to ꦯMartin (Aprilia) and Pramac (Yamaha) splitting from Ducati at the end of this season.

Martin replied: “I understand why they ask this question, it’s because they think about it! But for me,♍ I cannot control it, so I won’t focus on that. I will focus on riไding.

“I hope for sure not. But I will focus on what 🥂I can control which is riding at 1🍷00% and trying to be fast.”

Bagnaia pointed out that if Ducati wanted to influence the championship, he would have been allowe🗹🐲d to race with the new chassis he liked at the Misano test.

Instead, Ducati has blocked any further technical updates th෴is season, to avoid inf🐷luencing performance.

“I think if they wanted to help me in some 🐼way, already in Misanoꦆ I could have something better than what is already our package," Bagnaia said.

“Because we tried a new chassis. And the chassis is not ready for everybody, so we are not using ye🌳t. Also because it’s more correct like this.

“I think Gigi [Dall’Igna] was always clear o𓃲n that. As soon as I started riding with Ducati and even more in the last two seasons.

“The factory teams ♑[Lenovo and Pramac] have the same package. Nothing mo♛re, nothing less. Or if I have something new, everybody has something new.

“I think it’s a different strategy compared to other [manufacturers] but it’s the 🅠strategy that put Ducati in that way: It is so competitive for that reason, that strategy.

“I don’t🍎 think and I don’t believ💟e that they will change something [on the bike] until [after] Valencia.”

Martin, seeking to make history as the first satellite rider to win in the ‘MotoGP’ era, holds a ten-point title lead over Bagnaia with four rounds remaining.
