Pedro Acosta looks at Ducati: “You can’t have two No1s”
Pedro Acosta comm༺ents on Marc Marquez-Pecco Bagnaia dynaꦛmic

Pedro Acosta has delivered a blunt assessment of Ducati’s impressi🦄ve factory rider line-up.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez’s arrival into the garage which already had 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pecco Bagnaia means the dominant MotoGP m൲anufacturer have꧂ a duo to boast about.
But, KTM’s Acosta is not convinced by the dynamic.
Acosta was asked if Marquez and Bagnaia are the 2025 MotoGP title favourit𒈔es but provided a perhaps unexpected answer.
“We shouldn't put t💟he crown on the king just yet, a season is long,” he told .
“Many also talk about them being a dream team.
“But in life there is no dream team, you can't🥂 have two N𓃲o1s in the same box.”

Pedro Acosta denies Ducati 'dream team' tag
Ducati moved away from their philosophy of promoting inte🧔rnal talent to bring Marquez into their red𓂃 team, but have been justified by his results.
Marquez won the first five ra༒ces of the season before falling out of the lead in the 🅠Americas MotoGP.
Bagnaia took his f🦩irst win at COTA but that meant that🐲 neither of the factory Ducati stars went home from Texas as the championship leader.
Gresini’s Alex Marque🌠z, after a great run of P2 finish⛄es, tops the standings heading into this weekend’s Qatar MotoGP.
Perhaps that was Acosta’s pﷺoint - that two star riders vying for supremacy could chip away at each other’s point tallies.
The dynamic at KTM, for Acosta, is similar.
He entered a garage when Brad Binder was estab🔜lished, and had grown with t🐈he manufacturer.
But the KTM is desperately lacking the competitiveness of the Ducati so A🥃costa and Binder face different problems.
Acosta’s wise words about two No1 riders inside the same box might not negatively impact 💞KTM who will💯 be eager for progress regardless of where it comes from.
But it may continue to impact the MotoGP title b🅘attle, as Bagnaia and Marquez scrap for the same prize from within the same box.
Qatar is widely expected to be a circuit which favours Bagnaia, and the pendulum has swung in his direction after he took advantag⛄e of💙 Marquez’s fall to win at COTA.
But COTA was supposed to suit Marquez until he crashed, so Bagnaia will now face the added pressure of converting favoღura🌃ble conditions into a result.
How Ducati continue to manage the ambition of their two star men will be key to answering ꦯAcosta’s bold claim.
