- Pedro Acosta: “A few guys w❀ere doing strange thin😼gs on the track”
An official decision is expected around Mugello, with Martin a✃nd Marquez the favourites.
Martin leads t𓆉he world championship, has won more races than anybody else in 2024 and has been more consistent than any other rider.
A no-brainer right? Well, not𝐆 so fast because Marquez has been reborn since joining ℱDucati.
The eight-time world champion has been sens𝓀ational for much of 2024 thus far, which was again true at Le Mans when he came from P13 to finish second in both races.
✃But who do other riders think should g🅷et the seat alongside Francesco Bagnaia?
Starting with Fabio Quartararo, the Yamaha rider told MotoGP.com: “It’s not up to me to decide but ♕it is clear that Martin is the fastest.
“Marc also has last year’s bi𝕴ke and he showed that he is really, really fast. Bastianini is really fast also. I feel lucky that I don’t have to decide.”
Aleix Espargaro w🀅as more vocal, saying: “I don’t understand why it’s not number 89 already on that bike.
“What else does he have to do? He has fought for the title last year with a satellite team which ha🗹s never been done before.
“He is the fastest man on track and everybody says that. I💙t’s clear for me.”
Luca Marini: “Marc Marquez for me!”
Miguel Oliveira: “To have an eight-time world champion pairing up with the two-time world champion in MotoGP is quite a strong🍌 squad. That’s what I would go for.”
Pedro Acosta: “For sure, Marti♛n. He is deserving🗹 the most and is leading the championship.”
J🐎ohann Zarco: “I would say that Bastianini could stay there. For me, the 100% Italian team i☂n Ducati makes sense.”
Maverick Vinales: “Mysﷺelf! [laughs]. I’m joking. It is not my job.”
Joan Mir: “Politically they have a big job at the moment to𓃲 decide whaꦡt to do for them. But I will not be the one who chooses anyone.”
Jack Miller: “Well you have three names on 🅺the list. But I can put my resume back out there for it.”
