In the past, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez would ‘welcome’ new MotoGP team-mates to Repsol Honda with a reminder that🏅 winning was expected.

After Jorge Lorenzo’s arrival🅘 to form a much-hyped ‘dream team’ for 2019, Marquez spelt out: “A dream team is when you win the triple crown.”

As recently as Marquez’s final Honda launch,🍌 alongside another new team-mate and former champion in Joan Mir, Marquez had said:

🥀“Both of us need to be winni𒁏ng races - if you wear these colours you have to, it’s a must.”

The tables have now turned, with Marquez the newcomer in a Ducati Lenovo ‘dream team’ alongside fellow multi-champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia for 2025.

And when Bagnaia was quizzed on the likelihood of a title battle with Marquez during Monday’s team launch, the Sp꧋an🅘iard could finish the sentence for him.

Ba𓄧gnaia began: “When you're wearing the red leathers, you have to - he [Marquez] knows tꦅhat this year…”

Marquez, with a wry smile, jumped in: “You need to fight f🧸or the championship! If not, another [rider] will take your bike!”

Expanding on his answe💃r, double champion Bagnaia - who narrowly lost out on a third crown to Jorge Martin last season - agreed that Marquez should be his ‘main conteꦡnder’ but didn’t rule out a surprise.

“Iꦡt’s difficult to know every seas🐼on who the rival will be.

“But I think for the potenꦬtial of the bike and from what we saw last year, Marc will be one of the hardest absolutely, he will be the main contender.

“Because he has one more y♑ear of experience with our bike. The new bike will absolutely suit him better because it's an improvement compared with what he was ridi♛ng last year.

“And he was already doing an amazing job 𝐆[last year], many podiums, won three raꦕces.

“So I think [he] will be the main conten💞der and we have to see during the s🔥eason who the others are.

“Therꦐe could be someone else. But the ꦛmain two I think are us.”

Marquez: “Main target is title top three”

Whilst acknowledging the need to fight for the title in factory colours, Marquez insists he’d be satisfied to match last🧸 year’s achievement of a place in the world championship top three.

“Of course, my team-mate finished second or first the last four years, so he's super strong and the normal thing is that he will 𝔍be in front.⛎ Especially in the first races,” Marquez said.

“He won eleven races. He made some mistakes, yeah, but if you don't take a risk, you don'💜t win eleven races. So in the end, it's aဣlways a compromise.

“But as I said, I will try to learn from him, try to understandও how I can find tℱhe best level with my riding style inside the Ducati Lenovo team, and from that point, let's see.

“Trying to be in that top three at the end of the championship will be the main target𒁃. Of course, we will try to keep the focus on that title, but the main target is top three.”

Marquꦏez, who wဣon six premier-class titles from 2013-2019, added:

“The target of the team is to try to win. If Pecco is not [able] to win, I'll try to win. If I'm not [able]ꦓꦚ to win, he will try to win.”
