Marquez will come roaring back for the 2023 season and is expected to be at full health and strength, having recovered from a career-threatening arm surgery that scupꦡpered his 2022 season.

But the six-time premier class champion will return to find a grid full of younger and hungry competitors - 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia is the defending champion, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo wants his title back, Joan Mir is in th🐟e mix, and Bastianini is eying glory forܫ himself.

"He knows he was No1,” Bastia🎃nini told Marca about Marquez.

“At this moment I don't know𝕴. The resul🅠ts say that now the No1 is Pecco. But we'll see."

Bastianini won a promotion from Gresini Racing to the factory Ducati team to partner Bagnaia this year, edging out 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin and replacing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller.

Only Bagnaia won more races last year than Bastianini, who finished third in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings.

What caught the ey✅e was Bastianini’s ruthless willingness to🍌 fight Bagnaia wheel-to-wheel, even with Ducati’s faith in him potentially at stake.

That𒁃 attitude will come under the microscope this year when the Italian duo share the same garage for the iconic Italian brand who are finally back on top of the MotoGP world.

“In life never say never, but for the moment I have always had a good relationship with Pecc🎀o,” Bastianini said.

"The more Italian riders in front of us, the more inter�ꦿ�esting the situation will be.

"I think we know the bike is very competitive. I think the team is at the top, but it's my first year with them, so I'll have to give one hundred percent. My teammate is already world champion, so I w꧃ill have to follow in his footsteps to achieve the goal.”
