168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro has offered a prediction about 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez’s season which might worry their MotoGP rivals.

The Por🐻tuguese MotoGP at Portimao, the second round of the 2024 campaign, is this weekend.

Marquez is still 🅷adjusting to his year-old Ducati but a P4 finish 🐽at the season-opener in Qatar represented progress from his drab final year with Honda.

The♏ chat in the paddock is about how far Marquez can truly go when he is fully ꦯacclimated to his new bike.

"Marc is, without a doubt, the most talented rider in the championship,” Espargaro, who has known him sinc🍰e they were both children, was quoted b♒y .

ಌ“With 💜the best bike on the grid... one plus one equals two.

“We ✱will see how long he takes to get there, but he will be one of the strongest…

"I know the Gresini team well, since I raced with t𓃲he Aprilia Gresini team.

“The team is very familiar and pleasant. It ha✅s every🐎thing to show that it can win.”

But Espargaro also ⭕knows that the form and consistency of reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia is tough to overcome.

Factory Ducati rider Bagnaia, this year riding the de൩veloped GP24, won the first grand prix of the year to begin his title defence on top.

"Pecco has a much higher level than people bel♒ieve,” Espargaro insis𒊎ted.

“Because 🔴winning two consecutive titles with the rivalry that exists is very difficult.

“He is the man to beat.”

Espargaro is well known to be close friends with Jorge Martin, his fellow Spaniard who missed out on the champ🌞ionship on the fina🧜l day of 2023.

Pramac’s Martin won the Qatar spꦆrint and is immediately ꦯBagnaia’s nearest threat.

"He has shown very 𒉰high speed from the last part 𝔍of the season in 2023 until now,” Espargaro noted.

“He will also be the man to beat.”

And what about Espargaro’s own hopes?

In 2022 he finished fourth in the standings, his best-ever result. He was sixth last ye🐬ar.

The oldest rider on the grid, aged 34, is first aiming to establish Aprilia as the nearest contender💝 ꦆto the dominant Ducatis.

But there is optimism around🌳 how Espargaro mi෴ght fare this season.

"The goal is to finish in the top three ofꦆ the championship,” he said.

“We have been close for the last two years, I hope this i𝕴s the right time.”

Espargaro’s first weekend of 2024 was bizarre.

He awoke on Sunday in Qatar believing he c🎉ould win, after a brilliant conclusion to Saturday’𒈔s sprint.

But rear g𝔉rip unexpectedly blighted him, and he trudged home in eighth.

Portima๊o, this weekend, offers the next chance to impress.
