168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez insists that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Brad Binder will be in the mix for the 2024 MotoGP championship.

Last year’s title came down to three Ducatis - Francesco Bagnaia, Jorge Mꦉartin and Marco Bezzecchi.

Bezzecchi fell away in the final rounds before Bagnaia won his second 🧸consecutive title, but the next-best rider was KTM’s Binder.

Binder ✱ended f♋ourth in the MotoGP standings - a career-best finish - after five podiums.

Marquez told DAZN that Bagnaia and Martin will begin the year as the f❀avourites to win: “They are the two riders to beat.

They are the ones𝓡 who have done the most complete 🎉2023.

“Pecco at the level of consistency and managing situations and Martin at the level of ♍speed.

“They will be t▨here, for sure, and the third one I would put is Brad Binder, depending on the evolution of the KTM.”

KTM is ar🐭guably the best-placed manufacturer to fight the dominant Ducatis this season.

Jack Miller has claimed: “If you weren't able to get the red bike, I'm pretty sure [KTM] would be 𝐆the second on the list. And soon it’ll be the first.”

But what about Marquez’s own title aspirations?

He confessed: “I am at the level of being able to fight for it⛎, which is the most important thing."

Marquez said about the postseason Valencia test when he rode his new bike for th🍷e first time: “I was very nervous.

“൲I had been on the same bike for ten years and, as much as the bike seemed to be going well, I had that concern of seeing if I would know how to do it, if I could go fast, if I would adapt well...

“No matter how much you wa♓nt to work on getting away from th♔e expectation, seeing so many cameras when you leave the box impresses you.

His sm♈ile, delivered after his first run on the Du﷽cati, sent the paddock into a frenzy.

“It🦋 was a smil🐼e of 'thank goodness I went out and it went well’.

"I have changed brands and🤡 there is a lot of excitement from people.

“T🍃hey tell me: 'You're going to win the world championship!'

“I tell them that I haven't won a r꧋ace in two years.

“If I haven't won a race in two years I can't expect to sweep, I can't expect to win a chaꦡmpion🍸ship, first I have to build.”
