168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi insists he’s not upset to be absent from the shortlist of names for Francesco Bagnaia’s 2025 factory Ducati MotoGP team-mate.

That contest looks to be a duel between Jorge Martin or Marc Marquez, with current occupant Enea🌼 Bastianini as a꧒n outside bet.

“I'm not upset because at the moment they deserve this [chance] more,” Bezzecchi said at Catalunya on Thursda✱y.

“Of course I showed good things ༺last year, so I think that I deserv♋e also a factory seat. But at the moment it’s normal that they look at them. So I don't blame anyone.

“For the moment my target is just to come back very strong. If I achieve this, then I will have more possibility to loo🎶k around and to try to have a factory seat, which is the target of every MotoGP rider.

“For me, it's nor๊mal that it's like this [now]. I think that Martin, first of all, but also Marc and Bastianini, they deserve this more.”

Of the trio, Bezzecchi, third in l🦩ast year’s MotoGP world championship with three wins for VR46, is clear which deserves it most.

“Martin. Martin for me is the one that deserves this more because last year he fought for the championship and this year he's leading by a good amount of points. He won already t♛wo GPs. Many Sprints, I don't know how many but anyway he’s very fast!”

“Martin in this moment is in a very good shℱape. Then it all depends on when he makes a mistake that he doesn't expect,” the Italian added. “Then in your mind comes a different situation, but for sure he's very strong.

“I think he’s stronger than last year because, for example, in Jerez he made a mistake but he recove♍red very 🗹well.

“But Pecco is also very good.”

Bezzecchi then 🌄caused some amusement by comparing his friend and reigning double MotoGP champion to a two-stroke engine that sometimes runs a bit rich or lean but is unstoppable when the correct mixture is fou🌟nd.

Although former team-mate Luca Marini has gone to Repsol Honda to fulfil his factory dream this season, Bezzecchi said he would find it hard to walk awa🌟y frꦕom the competitiveness of the Ducati.

“Of course, I have the a🎉mbition to be in a factory team. But I want also to fight to have good races," he said.

“The Ducati fortunately is very competitive, even if he's not a fac🎃tory bike. I will see what possibilities I have [for 2025]. I have to think about it. But𝔉 at the moment, I don’t have many!”

Bezzecchi has taken one podium so far this season, at Jerez, then fell twice at Le Mans, including from a rostrum place late in the S💎print.

In Le Mans I was fast, but I didn't bring home any results. So hopefully I can have the same speed or better but also bring hoꦅme𓃲 something positive here,” he said of the Catalunya round.
