168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez will not swiftly become the top Ducati rider, ꦆinsists the KTM boss.

This weekend’s 2024 season-opening Qatar MotoGP is Marque𒐪z’s highly-anticipated Ducati debut 🍨with Gresini.

But th🌄e riders more hotly tipped to be the frontrunners are the trio riding the GP24 - Francesco Bagnaia, Enea Bastianini an⭕d Jorge Martin.

Marquez, s🌳till adjustingও to the GP23 after 11 years at Honda, has unknown potential.

“M🐈arc is a brilliant rider and now has a very powerful bike,” said KTM motorsport director Pit Beirer to .

“This combination will be very dangerous.

"I don't think he ꧟wiꦅll become the new No1 at Ducati and make a leap in quality.

Beirer insisted that Marquez "will have strong competiti♈onꦉ in his own camp".

He n✨amed Bagnaia as an "incredible champion” and warned that Martin "has the knife between his teeth" after narrowly missing the 2023 title and a prom♋otion to the factory team.

Marc Marquez ‘mentality’ noted ahead of Qatar MotoGP

But Marquez has r🔯eceived backing on his Ducati debut from Pol Espargaro.

Espargaro spent two years as Marquez’s Repsol Honda t🎶eammate in a difficult injury-riddled period for the eight-time world champion.

"If you ask Marc Marquez he wil𓃲l tell you that he is not there to fight for podiums and victories,” Espargaro told .

“Marc Marquez is one of those riders who kno🌜ws he can always win.

“It is that type of mentality that is𒅌 very necessary in MotoGP.

“Marc has demonstrated it for many years, also on bikes that have not been at the level, which he has always bไeen.

♌“And he has been able to fight for races that seemed impossible.

“Thereཧfore, Marquez knows, and I think he is convinced, that he can win.

“And it is som♌ething that we are going to enjoy every rꦆace weekend.

“He has a lot to prove and we'll see if it start𒆙s here in Qatar…”
