2021 MotoGP champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo made a surprising de🅠⛦cision last week as he agreed to a new two-year deal with Yamaha.

The Japanese brand has endured a difficult time since winning the championship with Quartarar🐻o in 2🐬021, losing out to Francesco Bagnaia in 2022, before a very disappointing season in 2023 as it marked their first winless campaign since 2003.

Quartararo received interest from Aprilia as a 4m E🐻uro salary reportedly w🍬as offered to the French rider.

However, Yamaha more than doubled that offer by giving Quartararo a yearly salary of 12🐼m for the next two seas♐ons.

While that secures Quartararo’s future, it means Jorge⛦ Martin won’t be joining Yamah☂a which would have been in play had Quartararo left.

Instead, Martin’s future could no🎃w be locked in at Ducati unless Aprilia swoop𝔍s in with an offer he can’t turn down.

However, that appears unlikely and Martin, who is the current champion💮ship leader, will want to move in alongside Bagnaia at the factory Lenovo Ducati team.

Martin has been the most consistent rider so far i🎃n 2024 an🌄d last season’s runner-up has made it known on several occasions that he wants to be a factory rider.

Ducati have plenty of options but when it comes to performance, current results and a⛎ge, Martin might be the favourite to join Bagnaia.

But what about the likes of 𝔉Bastianini and Marquez?

Starting with the former, Bastianini has looked back to his best at the🍰 start of 2024 after ad♛apting better to the new Desmosedici GP24.

Bastianini secured second spot behind Martin last time out in Portimao, and although Martin has been strong✤er than the Italian so far this season, the Italian is a rider that on his day has proven to𝔍 be very hard to beat.

Bastianini has also been a very good team-mate to Bagnaia and so the fa🧸miliarity of being in the factory team, experience and results he has is not something Ducati will take lightly when making a decision.

Martin’s raw pace and recent results says he should be the rider to get that seat, h💟owever, Bastianini remains one of the best riders in MotoGP and therefore Ducati might want to keep their line-up intact.

The wildcard here is Marc Marquez, because the Spani🐽ard is arguably the best MotoGP rider of his era, if not 🀅ever.

Marquez, like Bas꧃tianini, has been very str෴ong so far this season and an argument could be made that only Martin and Bagnaia have demonstrated more consistent speed than the eight-time world champion.

If Ducati chose to sign Marquez alongs꧒ide Bagnaia, it would mean looking at what he’s capable of doing, rather than basing their decision off of results aboard their bike.

Marquez only has two rounds of experience riding a Ducati, but that hasn’t stopped hi🉐m from being ve🍰ry impressive.

Marquez could also make a big statement by winning this weekend at COTA, one of his mos✅t successful circuits on the calendar.

Of course, the incident between Marquez and Bagnaia in Portimao might scare management away from taking a risk, but equally, putting Ma🅠rquez on their factory bike would be a big statement and would do wonders for sponsors.

Our prediction as it stands is that Martin will get the second factory Ducati ride for 2025, while Bastianini c♓ou🔴ld be set for a move away from Ducati after it was reported that talks have begun with Aprilia.
