Marc Marquez: "Logically there is a status… Pecco calls the shots"
"Logically there is a status and the one who 𒅌calls the shots is Pecco"
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez might have six MotoGP titles compared to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia’s two but the Spaniard insists Pe෴cco ‘calls the shots’ in terms of their present status at the factory Ducati team.
Marquez explained suc♑h a situation is 'logical' for the 'pre-season an🌟d first few races' given Bagnaia’s success.
Bagnaia has been Ducati's factory team leader for the past four years, winning 29 gran🥀ds prix and back-to-back titles. Bagnaia lost out to Pramac's Jorge Martin by just ten points this season, despite eleven GP wins.
Marquez arrives as Bagnaia's ne🔯w team-mate after three victories, ♚his first in MotoGP since 2021, during a rejuvenating season as a satellite Gresini rider.
It's Marquez's third team change in as many years and, just as when he left Repsol Honda, only mechanic Javi Ortiz has accompanied him f꧂rom Gresini to Ducati.
While he was joining younger brother Alex in the family atmospher𝐆e at Gresini, the #93 is now entering the factory team of the only oth🅠er multiple MotoGP champion on the grid.
“Now I am ꦫin a situation I have never experienced before, which is to arrive in a pit box and, although there is no number one and number two, logically there𒀰 is a status and the one who calls the shots is Pecco,” Marquez said at a media event for Estrella Galicia 0,0.
“Why? Because Pecco is the one who has given two world titles to Ducati, the one who won eleven races last year and logically, he has to be the one who calls the shots this pre-season and in the fir🌱st few races.
“From our part, I will trܫy to work to get closer to him because he is the reference, the rider who has made Ducati w🐬in the championship again, and who is going very fast.
“If you want to become champion, you have to earn it on the track, but I have the best weap🅰ons to fight for the title,” he added.
Marquez was fourth fastest on his factory Ducati debut at 🌳the recent Barcelona test, lapping just 0.056s slower than Bagnaia on a prototype version of the GP25.
However, brother Alex was half-a-second clear of them both on the GP24, with Yamaha's Fabio Quartararo in-betwe🙈en.
“On the first day of testing with a new team the goal is to get to know the people, but I also spent almost ninety percent of the day🌃 riding the D♈esmosedici GP25 because on that test day the riders have to choose a way, a direction, in which to develop the bike for next year,” Marquez said.
“The positive thing is that both Pecco and I highlighted the same problems and the same advantages. Obviously from 𒈔the GP23 to the GP24 bike, we found a step ahead, but the GP25 is different.
“As you put a new bike on the track, it's hardly going to work betteꦇr from the few first laps than the one that's been racing for a year, but I felt comfortable and that's what gives me confidence.”
The next time Marquez and Bagnaia will ride the GP25 is at Februarไy’s official Sepang test.
