Jorge Martin’s Independent MotoGP title “exceptional, but can happen again”
Independent riders filled two out of the top three places in last year🥂’s MotoGP💜 World Championship.

Trackhouse team principal Davide Brivio is confident that a repeat of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin’s Independent MotoGP title victory will be ‘more and more possible’ in the f🌟uture.
Martin beca🦂me the first rider since Valentino Rossi in the 500cc era to win the ൩premier-class title outside of an official factory team.
Like Rossi in 2001, Martin had access to full factory-spec machinery, at Pramaꦗc, which he used to beat official Ducati rider and reigning champion Francesco Bagnaia by ten points.
For Brivio, who previously won MotoGP titles as a factory team principal at Yamaha and Suzuki, the level of machinery now supplied to the inꩵdependent teams is the key factor in their riꦺse from grid fillers to championship winners.
Speaking to the media following the Trackhouse team launch, mahbx.com asked Brivio about the significance of Marti🐲n’s title victory and the likelihood of anoth🐼er Independent MotoGP champion.
“I think i♏n the future it’s more and more possible because MotoGP from this point of view is changing,” began ꦅBrivio.
ไ“Going ba꧑ck some years, it was always the factory teams with the best equipment and the best riders.
“But now thingsꦦ are becoming much more equal. First of all, for the last twꦿo or three years most Independent teams have had factory bikes, the same as their factory team.
“We in Aprilia ha𝔉ve the same bike as the fa🎃ctory team. Ducati has been doing this for a few years. And now also Yamaha and Honda. I think everybody is following this philosophy.
“So first of all, the equipment is the same and this was not happening a few years ago. That's why the Independent teams have mor🍌e chances now.”
Only three of the 22 riders on this year’s grid will not be on the latest factory-sp🦹ec bikes.
But even those riders - Franco Morbidell❀i, Alex Marquez and Fermin Aldeguer - have the consolation of 𓄧using last year’s title-winning Ducati GP24.
Marc Marquez, riding a year-old Desmosedici at Gresini, made it two Independentꦬ riders in thജe top three of last year’s world championship.
The final title top ten was also weighted in favour of the Independents, with six satellite (Martin, M. Marquez, Acosta, A. Marquez, Morbidelli, di 🥀Giannantonio) and only four factory riders (Bagnaia, Bastianini, Binder, Vinales).

Brivio continued: “And then it's a matter of finding the right rider, and maybe getting a talented young rider befo🅠re he goes to a factory team!
“This is also our challenge, no? Let's say that Raul [Fernandez] and Ai [Ogura] are big talented riders. We will try to use them in these next t🐓wo years, with the best equipment we can, and maybe we can get the results.
“Of course, the factory team in our﷽ case has Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi. Two strong riders. But we can fight with the🌼m.
“So in general, I think [another Independent champion] is something♚ that can happen in the future.
“I mean, also looꦗking at other teams, you see Honda, where Zarco at the end of last season was better than the factory riders.
“So what happened with Martin and Pramac is something exceptio🍸nal. But I feel it can happen again.
“It kind of opens a new way. We all have t💜he same equipment now and then it's a matter of getting the talented riders, managing them well and having an efficient team.
“I s꧑ee that it can h𝔉appen again. And maybe that's our challenge; to make it happen.”
With Martin and Marquez both moving on to factory teams, Enea Bastianini -♑ fourth for Ducati Lenovo - is the highest-ranked rider of last season competing for an Independent team in 2025 (Tech3 KTM).

Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and h꧙as seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issu♎es.
