Marc Marquez has been tipped as a 2024 MotoGP titlꦅe contender by rival riders but the Gresini boss has other ideas

Gresini’s target for168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Marc Marquez’s first season is to be within the top five of the MotoGP championship, the team owner claims.

Ducati riders have already tipped the eight-time world champion to fight for a ninth, which would tie Valentino Rossi’s total, b꧂ut the ambition from within his new box is more humble (or, perhaps, more strategically managed…)
“With Marc the expectations are high, but we don'tꦆ set ourselves the goal of winning the World Championship,” Nadia Padovani told .
“We want🧔♛ to be at least among the top five in the rankings, yes.
"It🉐's more the desire to start than the pressure, absolut🌠ely.
“Because we can't wait to get on track with these ride💞rs and see where we can get this year."
She reiterated her delight to have recruited Marquez: “It's a fantastic year. We've already won because we are an independent team that has brought in an eight-time world champion. We have🎀 10 world titles in the team.
“This is crazy, we never imagin𝓀ed we could achieve something so important in our caree🍒r."
T🦹eam manager Michele Masini added: “Never before will 💝we have all the ingredients to do very well as in 2024.
“But it's clear that everything remains to be written and I don't want to place any objectives, but only to th𒅌ink about progress and improve.”
The Marquez brothers wil🦹l share a box for the first time since the ill-fate♑d early months of 2020.
"It was a dream within our dream,” Masini said.
“There is an incredible energy. We have spent the last three days together and there is a nice atmosph🔴ere, with carefreeness and a unique desire.
“I think we can be proud of being able to l♑ive this moment together.
"Having Alex and Marc on th♌𝓡e team is an added value.
♍“I think we have the𝔍 best possible technical package available but we still believe that the human part is fundamental.
“Who knows each other better than two brothers?
“I mean it will mak🃏e things easier for us on the sporting side, but it will help us get to know them quick🤪er."
Padovani added: “We are the only team𝔍 with 10🎃 world titles inside the garage.
“It has n𒈔ever happened, it happened to us and this gives us a great boost.
♓“Marc is a very nice guy, he always has a joke ready. I know Alex and I know how he is. He is brill꧟iant and friendly. We got on very well with both of them."
