168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez was grilled aboﷺut whether he would accept a factory bike at a satellite Ducati team.

This weekend’s Catalunya MotoGP is the last chance to impress on-track before Ducati finalise their decision for the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2025 MotoGP rider line-up at Mugello next week.

Gresini’s Marquez and Pramac’s Jorge Martin a🤪re in the hat for Enea Bastianini’s factory Ducati status.

But, Marquez seemingly softened his demands at Le Mans, hi𒅌nting that a 2025-spec bike would suffice irrespective of what team he is allocated to.

⭕That seemingly opened the door to Pramac, who run factory Ducatis. Or Gresini, if they can convince Ducati to give them a latest-spec bike.

In Barcelona, Marquez was quizzed about🍨 accepting being with a satellitಌe team once again next year if the bike was factory-spec.

He answered: “My situati🐼on changed a bit compared to last year. This year I was looking to have fun. Step by step I am coming back to a good level, this is important.

“If you want to fight for a championship you can do it this year. But if you have an easie🔯r life on the race-track, it helps you. So every rider is looking for the best.

“I know what is my first idea. I am very clever. Clever in the past, clever for next year, with what⛎ I need to do. What I need to be fast.”

“Let’sꦑ see if I can do a good job 🎉on the track to have more options.”

Marquez was clearl🥃y asked to confirm what his No 🧸1 choice is.

But he refused, and answered: “To be fast on the track and to be close to the💃se two guys [Bagnaia and Martin].

“These a꧂re the guys who competed for the championship last year. They are the strongest opponents out there.”

Marquez and Martin were then asked about joining Aprilia or KTM next year🍒ܫ, if they miss out on the factory Ducati seat.

Marquez said: “The European manufacturers are at a good l☂evel.

“For me, the Ducati i💜s🦩 the best one. Or the one with the most potential at all race tracks.

“๊So, last year, I chose the direction of the Ducati with the Gresini because I looked for the best bike.

“Aprilia and KTM are closer and closer.

“Maverick prov☂ed ♎that you can win races. Aleix, last year, won here at Montmelo.”

Marc Marquez names his one key shortcoming

Marquez h🔴as previously suggested that “something is mi✱ssing” for him this season to launch a championship challenge.

He is 40 points behind championship leader Martin ahead✤ of the sixth rou🎀nd.

Marquez clarified what is missing: “The consistency of these two guys [Bagnaia a🐓nd 💖Martin].

“Every practice, every qualifying, they are always top three or five. I am fast and competitive - inꩲ Jerez and Le Mans I was super close to them - but I need consiste🌠ncy.

“It looks like with the new bike we will gain oཧn long corners.”

Marquez said about the Barcelona circuit: “It was not so good but I was the fastest Honda, most of the🃏 time.

“I look forꦅward to understanding how to ride a Ducati here.

“One of my strong point🍸s in my riding style is stop and go. But here it is flowing. I have the data to compare.”
