168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez insists that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder will be in the mix for the 2024 MotoGP championship.

L♎ast year’s title came do♈wn to three Ducatis - Francesco Bagnaia, Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi.

Bezzecchi fell awa𝓡y in the final rounds before Bagnaia won his second consecutive title, but the next-best rider was KTM’s Binder.

Binder ended f✱ourth in the MotoGP standings - a career-best finish - after five ꧅podiums.

Marquez told DAZN that Bagnaia💮 and Martin will begin the year as the favourites to win: “They are the two rid🔥ers to beat.

They are the ones who 🐻have done the most complete 2023.

“Pecco at the level of consistency and managing situations 𝓡and Martin at the level of speed.

“They will be there, for sure, and the t🔯hird one I would put is Brad Binder, depending on𒆙 the evolution of the KTM.”

KTM is arguably the be🍸st-placed manufacturer to f🤪ight the dominant Ducatis this season.

Jack Miller has claimed: “If you weren't able to get the red bike, I'm pretty sure [KTM] would be the second on the list. And soon it’ll b𒊎e the fir🦄st.”

But what about Marquez’s own title aspirations?

Aꦦfter three nightmare ye🐠ars he has quit Honda and will debut for Gresini Ducati, riding a GP23, at the season-opener in Qatar on March 8-10.

He confessed: “I am at the level of being able to fight for it, which is 💫the most important thing."

Marquez said about the postseason Valencia test when he rode his new bikeꦍ for the first time: “I was very nervous.

“I had been on the same bike for ten years and, as much as the bike seemed to be going well, I had that concern of seeing if I would know how to do it, if I coul🔜d go fast, i🐠f I would adapt well...

“No matter how much you want to w𓆉ork on getting away from the expectation, seeing so many cameras when you leave the 🐈box impresses you.

𝔍His smile, delivered after his first run on the Ducati, sent the paddock into a frenzy.

“It was a smile of 'thank goodne꧃ss I went out and it 🌳went well’.

"I have changed brands and there i🐼s a lot of excitement from people.

“They tell me: 'You'🍃re going❀ to win the world championship!'

“I tell them that I haven't🅘 won a race in two years.

“If I haven't won a race in two years I 💯can't expect toꦐ sweep, I can't expect to win a championship, first I have to build.”
