168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin has admitted that he wished a l𒊎egend, such as Casey Stoner, was involved in his MotoGP t🌠itle battle.

Martin edged Pecco Bagnaia and ওMarc Marquez to the 2024 pr🐽emier class championship.

He ins♕ists the 🃏quality of the opposition is key to how iconic his achievement will be remembered as.

“Obviously I would have liked to play for a world championship against the greatest, against Valentino Rossi, against Marc Marquez, who i🅰s already on track,” Martin told .

“For example against Stoner, against many of those that I have lived throug🐓h at the time when I was a child and I watched motorcycles from home.

“That wa💦s where I wanted to see myself and now I am in that positioꦅn.

“But in the end these are times, now there's Pecco and he's the one I've had to beat. And then there'🐽s Marquez, who's the one I've had to beat.

“So, I consider that Marquez is the best in history along with Valentino, and Pecco is enওtering that group.

“With the resultꦐs he's doing, for me he's already surpassed Stoner, for example.

“A💦nd I hಌave beaten Pecco, so where does this position me?

“Nor is it to brag. I have my feet on the ground, I know that I still have a lot to do, but it is clear that I consider myself at a sporting level at their l𒁏evel.

“The value of a champio🏅nship is given to you by your rivals. So, if the rivals are good, the championship will have more value and if they are not so good, then it will not.

“I think in the era we're in, with Marquez, Pecco... right now the ൩level is very high. The value of this cha🍰mpionship is very high.

“But then, at the level of marketing or at the level of what Valentino moved, it will surely be almost impossible to reach those numbers, of audiences or sales, 🌟but in the end I can't control that.

“I know that in terms of riding I have nothing to env𓆏y to riders from another era🉐.”

Stoner won two MotoGP titles, in 2007 with Ducati and in🎃 2011 with Honda.

His title with Ducati preceded 15 year꧒s of hurt for the manufacturer, before Bagnaia won in 2022.

B𒆙agnaia’s consecutive titles meant he drew level with Stoner’s tally.

Rossi has nine world titles overall, and Marquez dreams of levelling that total this sꦺeason.
