Non-Ducati rider with “a real shot at victory” tipped to battle Marquez brothers
A surprise threat to 🤡w🌠in the British MotoGP has been identified

The dominance of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez and Marc Marquez could be scuppered by a rider who hasn’t yet woꦐn a grand prix in 2025.
The younger Marquez brother, on the year-old Gresini Ducati, came out on top on Saturday in the sprint race at the British MotoGP.
But elder brother and factory Ducati star remains on top of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:MotoGP standings with a 21-point buffer to Alex.
But another rider🌜 caught the eye at Silverstone ahead of Sunday’s grand prix.
“If we get enough temperature, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi can use t🌠he hard front,” TNT Sports’ Michae♑l Laverty predicted.
“He could be a real shot at 📖the vict🌳ory, he could challenge Alex.
“It was a poor sta🌞rt for Marco but he kept coming forwards. The Aprilia looked so good.
“If yoꦏu go 20 laps around here, the front tyre will play an even bigger part.
“A lot of riders will opt for the medium, even if they ☂don’t want to, to get it up to te🌠mperature.
“Over 20 laps, the soft front wi💧ll not go the distance.”
Aprilia rider Bezzecchi, who hasn’t been able to count on sha🍌ring data with Jorge Martin due to his inꦏjury this year, was fourth in the sprint after notably passing Pecco Bagnaia.

Marc Marquez mistake at British MotoGP noted
Starting from fourth on the grid, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez threatened a🍰nother sprint win, as has become the norm this year.
“He was super aggressive at the staꩲrt. At the start of the race he basically a💦bused his front tyre,” Sylvain Guintoli analysed.
“Towards the end, he ha꧙d no pace. I didn’t think he’d be able to be so aggressive.
“But again, Marc made the moves. He activates his tyre faster th♑an everybody else.
“For a couple of laps, it was really impressive.
“But the mistake - Turn 3, he ran wide. That’s why he crashed [on Friday]. He🎃 didn’t want to do that again so he had to pick the bike up.
“That’s where Alex went in front. For Marc, it 💫wa𓆏s a difficult race.
“Such an important race for Alex, the first time he has beaten Marc as the faster rid🎉er.”
Laverty added: “Alex seems so good around this ♏track. The composu🌟re he showed under pressure from Marc.
“He kept chipping away at lap times, he controlled it. It was a comf𓆏ortable victory.
“The fast right-handers work so well for him.”
Pole-sitter Fabio Quartararo was competitive until he met ✱the Ducatis on the straights.
“It is the slight weakness of the inline-four Yamaha, it doesn’t have the legs,” Laverty sa𝓡id.
“It was easy pickings for Marc. That’s a🐟 shame for Fabio because he’s able t𝓡o fight, brake and steer. He made aggressive overtakes. Just a shame he’s not able to fight in battles with the Ducatis.”
