The clash between 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia won’t have any lingering i𝕴mpact - but served to remind 𒈔each rider of the ferocity of their rival.

That is the view of Guido Meda, the legendary Italian MotoGP commentator who grew to beco🤡me a clos𒊎e confidante of Valentino Rossi’s.

Marquez and Bagnaia are primed to return to action this weekend at the Circuit of the Amer🦩icas, the third round of the 2024 season.

Last time out they each ended pointless, after༺ Bagnaia clattered into Mar🎶quez as they fought for P5.

Could the cla🍸sh - a racing incident, as Race D🐲irection deemed it - have lasting effect within Ducati?

“I would say no,” Meda told . “Rather it makes ꦰboth of you aware that you are dealing with a rival to fear.

“Bagnaia🌳 unde🎐rstood that Marquez is still a tough opponent in close combat.

“At the same time Marc was able to 'meas🌄ure' Pecco and understood that he is not someone who gives up easily.

“They are both two mature guys, what happened adds further appeal to the cha♑mpionship but I doubt it will degenerate into incorrect episodes."

Marquez is in 𝔉contention to become 💎Bagnaia’s teammate on the factory Ducati team in 2025.

"It's not such a faꦚr-fetched hypothesis,” M🍌eda said.

“And the idea of ​​building a Dream🌟 Team probably stimꩵulates a sportsman like Gigi Dall'Igna a lot.

“In my opinion Marc won't go to Honda or KT🐠M and will stay on a Ducati, and it's highly likely to be the red one."

Enea Bastianini, currently alongside Bagnaia, also loves this weekend’s circuit in Texas and cou🌠ld offer another remind﷽er of his talents.

But Pramac’s Jorge Martin is leadiꦓng 𒁏the standings heading into COTA.

He won the Po🗹rtuguese MotoGP and profited from the clash between Bagnaia and Marquez.

"His weekend in Portugal wa🌱s different from those experienced in 2023, when he arrived on track and was fast straight away,” Meda said.

“But he c♎ertainly took ad🌼vantage of last year's mistakes and raced impeccably in Portugal.

“But it's too early to make cham♒pionship [predictions]."
