168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez is no longer seen as an “alien” by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio di Giannantonio.

Marquez enters this weekend’s French MotoGP at Le Mans hopeful of a first victory on a Ducati, after insisting his adapta꧟tion to a new bike is complete.

But Di Giannantonio, who rides the same GP♔23 Ducati as Marquez, has suggested that th🌱e eight-time world champion is not striking fear into his rivals anymore.

VR46’s Di Giannantonio told that he noticesꩲ how Gresini’s Marquez rides the Ducati when on-track together.

“Yes, it's 🙈always Marc in his riding style,” he said.

“He ♍eဣnters corners very strongly, he is very aggressive.

“He rides very well and goes very fast.

“I feel like I'm at an excellent level and while maybe in my debut in MotoGP I s𒈔aw him a little more from afar, now I no longer see him as an alien.

“Obviously I have great respect for him because he is a champion and when he rides he ha🐓s his magic, but I don't s♔ee him as unattainable.

“I see him as a rival and even wh🌠en I study him I don't see big differences."

Di Giannantonio - who was replaced at Gresini by Marquez last year, before finding his career-best form - has benefitted from an e🔯xtra two years of adaptation to the Ducati.

He sees similarities with how Marquezꦦ uses his new machinery.

“The ve𓃲ry particular thing is that I see from the data that we use gas in a very, very similar way,” he said.

“It's something that sometimes amazes me.

“Being close to the g🐬uidance of an eight-time world champion is not bad."

Marquez has won three grands prix at Le Mans but arrives for his Ducati debut at the track in Francཧeꦏ needing to make up ground in the championship fight.

He is sixth in the MotoGP standings𒁏, 32 points behind leader Jorge Martin.

But factory Ducati du🅠o Francesco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini are also ahead of Marq🐭uez.

This weekenౠd’s Fre𒉰nch MotoGP also comes with the added storyline of the 2025 rider market.

Ducati are considering th𝄹eir big decision of who to pair with Bagnaia in their ‘25 factory team🌺.

Marquez, Bastianini a💃nd Martin are the contenders.
