Rossi’s VR46 squad have enjoyed a stunning MotoGP season, largel꧟y through Marco Bezzecchi who claimed his own and his team’s first ever win in the premier class.

Bezzecꦚchi still has a♐n outside-chance of becoming champion, a goal which Marini also holds.

“Yes of course,” he told .

“Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, but you have to go step 𒉰by step. 

“The next thing is to win a race and then go to a fac𒆙tory team, to develop a good bike that can be perfect for my riding style. 

“Of course, with the Ducati I feel very good.”

Repsol Honda team manager Alberto Puig repor🎀tedly spoke to Marini at last wee🃏kend’s Thailand MotoGP about a possible switch in 2024.

“Now I haveꦰ a contract with my team for next season a🅺nd I have to do a good job, because we have a lot of potential ahead of us,” Marini reacted. 

“But of course you think as a rider in that position, because it is an incredible position even though now the Honda is 🌱not the best bike.

“I think Honda will once again have a competitive bike to fight for theꦰ World Championship.”

'When the time arises I will try to go to a factory team'

Marini admits that 𝔍he will one day exit his famousꩵ brother’s team.

“Of course, of course,ℱ it's something I have to do,” he said. 

“I have to make my way. In my current team, I am ve𝔉ry professional, working one hundred percent every day, to obtain the best result. 

“But when the time arises I will try to go to a factor🔯y team, because I trust myself a lot to develop a motorcycle. 

“I think Iꩲ have a very good sensitivit𝓀y that few riders have. I have many strong points.

“I think I work very well in the box wi💖th the engineers.&n💫bsp;

“My feelings are v🧔ery clear and I can explain myself very well in each language and say what the bike needs (I speak Italian,ꦰ English, Spanish, French and some Polish). 

“And the pressure doesn't affect me either, becaus🥀e when it appears it means that you are going to fight for someth𝓀ing important and I feel good there.

ဣ“I may be in the best moment of my career, but I am not close to the limit I can reach. 

“I have to ♏work well with the team and at home, to improve in each race🌠. I have to enjoy this moment, because I am with the Ducati, which is a competitive motorcycle, with which you can win in every race.”

How does Marini remain so serene?

“It is because of cha꧋racter and 𓆏how you grow. 

“I also work on my interior, ꧒my mental experience, I learn from mistakes and listen to older people, people with 💮a lot of experience. 

“To my brother, of course, but there are also very interesting people withi🧜n the team and from whom꧅ I try to learn. And you even learn from the other riders.”

Marini will again ride a year-old Ducati in 2024. Can MotoGP’s best machine be 🔯improved further?

“It is difficult, because it is a very complete m🌸otorcycle, with many strong p😼oints,” he said.

“But a little more speed on the straight would not be bad and Ducati is💞 very capable of ach🐎ieving it.

“It has very good power anওd aerodynamics and Duc𝓡ati engineers always have something more.”
