168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia are head-and-shoulders clear of the MotoGP field in the world championship standings, wi🦂nning 22 of the 32 races this season.

A🙈prilia’s Aleix Espargaro, one of the few to have also claimed a sprint or grand prix win, recently stated that the title rivals are not gettin💟g the credit they deserve for riding at such a high level.

Do Martin and Bagnaia agree?

“I don’t know. I would like to go back and race in 2014 and 2015 ꧂to see my real level, let’s say,” Martin replied, referring to an era that saw the likes of Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez fightin🔴g for supremacy.

“I think we are in great shape,” Martin continued. “Firstly, I really don’t think a lot about what people say, because I cannot conওtrol it. And secondly, I t🐷hink we are riding at an amazing level.

“With the so-equal bikes we have, to make this difference compared to the rest I think is crazy. The other day [in Japan], not only us, but also Marc and Enea, we were 14-17 seconds ahead of fifth place. 𒁃For sure this is crazy.

“I think we are in a really good level. I think all sports 🎃worldwide are always increasing the records and lap times and it’s becau🗹se everything improves. So we are better athletes also and we are I think better than the past.”

Bagnaia: “Everybody is doing what were differences in the past”

Martin leads the🏅 standings by 10 points from reigning champion Bagnaia with four rounds to go. The pair are among four riders on the latest GP24 Ducati, with a🦋nother four using last year’s GP23 machines.

Bagnaia feels the level now reached in MotoGP means clear differences in rid🎐ing technique are not as v💛isible as in the past.

“I don’t care about what people think, because I♋ know what we are doing and we are doing something much better than the rest,” Bagnaia said.

“I think already that is something huge. But we have to consider that people are always engage🎀d with the past. And to beat the past is not easy!

“When you are thinking about, for example, I see Troy [Corser, watching press conference] and I think 🐼about Superbike, when you think about Superbike you still think 🅺that the battles are not the same as in the past.

“I think it’s the same [with MotoGP] right now, because to make the difference is much more diff💞icult. In the past we had Casey [Stoner] sliding a lot, Valentino [Rossi] braking super hard and making his slides in the [corner] entra𝓡nce.

“And right now everybody is doing the same thing: Exiting in the best way possible𒀰, braking as hard as possible. But it’s more difficult to see differences because now everybody is doing what were differences in the past.

“So I t✨hink it’s more difficult to understand what we are doing.

“What we did in Japan was something out of this world, considering the pace we maintained for all the💜 race. And it’s for that I don’t understand and I don’t care about what people say.

“Bꦡec♏ause sometimes it’s like speaking with a wall. Useless!”

Aꦫlthough fellow Ducati rꦗiders Enea Bastianini and Marc Marquez remain mathematically in title contention, they are 79 and 81 points behind Martin with only 148 points remaining.
