2023 will be the second season without Rossi, the seve🍃n-time MotoGP champion whose fame crossed into mainstream culture more so than any rider in history.

Since then, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia won his maiden premier class championship and will be paired with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini next season - two young and exciting Italian riders representing Italy’s bigg♏est brand.

"I think it's still early, it's t🎶he beginning of a new era for Italian riders,” said Marini, the VR46 Racing rider, and Rossi’s half-brother. 

“Vale has thrilled fans for many🧜 years, back then [MotoGP in Italy] was still free on TV. So he was able to reach a lot more people. 

“Now it's only a matter of time. All Italian rider🔯s must be in front of every race and try to win as many races as possible, weᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ need as many champions as possible. 

“Then it will be full again in Italy, but I believe also all over the world. The show is good, we just have to wait to reach the hearts of all the fans. In a few years⭕' time every grandstand will be full.

"People were in love with the sport, Vale and other strong riders with character. Nowadays we have good cha✱racters, but we must remember that we are all very yꦓoung in MotoGP. We have to wait."

As well as Ducati duo Bagnaia and Bastianini, whose own inter-team rivalry could be box office, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez may make a return to the front of the grid on a regular basis if he gets on top of 𝓀his physic🎉al issues and the performance of his Repsol Honda bike.

Joan Mir, Marquez’s new teammate, won the 2020 title and could challenge again, while new contenders like 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin will fancy their chances.

"We don't make mistakes because we are the best drivers in the world,” Marini sa💞id. 

“We have the best tyres and the best bikes. It's impossible to go wrong when everything worജks 100%. The level in MotoGP is very high right now. 🎃;

“I think the MotoGP show is good. In ღthe past it was perhaps spectacular because only three rider𝔍s were fighting for the top. The fans could only focus on them.”
