168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez has hit back at predictions the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:factory Ducati team will finish 1-2 in every race in 2025, noting ‘you don’t know what MotoGP is if you think this’.

Ducati has assembled the strongest line-up in its history and one of MotoGP’s best ever, as it pairs Marquez with double premier class champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia for 2025.

Even with Ducati electing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:to race its 2024 engine andꦬ start the year on an older c𝔉hassis and aero kit, the factory duo remain the hot favourites to win the championship this season.

Various paddock voices have suggested every grand prix in 2025 will be between Marquez and Bagnaia, thoཧugh the former has hit back at these claims.

“I hope to share many podiums with Pecco, because in the end we need to paint the world cham⛎pionship in red at the end of the season,” he said on Thursday ahead of the Thai Grand Prix.

“Of course, I will push for a #93 red, he𝕴 will push for #6✨3 red.

“Apart from that, we we are in MotoGP, everyone iꦏs fast and if you expect [Bagnaia and myself to be] first and second in every race weekend, you don’t know what MotoGP is.

“There will be a lot of fights between different riders, differ🅘ent conditions, rain, damp conditions. So, the cham🌠pionship is quite long but consistency is important.”

Marquez pointed out several names he consider♒s as threats to fight for individual race wins across the season, but stressed that “consistency is the most important thing”.

“All Ducati riders can fight for the win because we start with a similar base,”✅ he added.

“Of course, in the fa🌄ctory team during the year we will work a lot on different 🧸small details that the engineers have already started on, a way that I think will be better.

“But we cannot forget [Pedro] Acosta. I would like to say [Jorge] Martinꦰ, but unfortunatel🐓y he is not here, [Marco] Bezzecchi.

“The consistency is the most important. In a single race, many riders can be fast and many riders ca🎃n win a race.”

Marc Marquez “ready” to fight for 2025 title

Marquez hasn’t fought for a world title in MotoGP since his sixth premier class crown in 2019, with injury and declining form from the 🔯Honda halting h⛄is charge.

Having had a strong winter on the GP25, Marq🐎uez says he feels “ready” to fight for the championship this 🔜year.

Asked if he coul🥀d compare the start of this season to his other title years, Marquez said: “I mean, of🅠 course I feel that I’m ready to fight for the championship.

“Of course, the championship is super long anꦬd you don’t know what will happen. But I feel r🍌eady.

“In ’13 I didn’t feel ready, so we can sayও that ’17, ’18, ’19 I felt ready but then you never what will hap💞pen.

“So, let’s see. Pre-season has been good - not only here [in Thailand] but also in Maꦬlaysia, which for me it was more important in Malaysia than here, and from now on let’s see how we can adapt in different race tracks.”

He added: “Has been a good 👍winter, especially I feel since Catalunya when I tried the bike.

“The em🐼otions inside the box, I felt ok, and by the days it was better and better.

“Not💃 only here… here is a circuit that I like, but it’s not the best one, but also in Ma๊laysia I felt good with the bike, I felt fast, riding in a good way.

“But testing is tღesting, racing is racing. I think we did a good job between me and Pecco. We have a good base, balance, and for me we have the best bike to fight f🌠or the championship.”
