While other Ducati riders such as MotoGP champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Luca Marini all have an in-race mistake attached to their name this season, Marquez has been faultless after finishing the two Grand Prix’ in Portimao and Argentina in the top ജfive, whilst claiming ninth and fifth in the two Sprint races.

The Gresini Ducati rider has looked rejuvenated since his move away from LCR Hon🐲da, as highlighted by his pole position in tricky conditions last time out. 

Next up is COTA, a circuit where his brother🌟 Marc has dominated at, and although Alex does not posღsess the same record, the Spaniard now has a bike that could allow him to be a contender this weekend. 

"Austin is surely a demanding circuit on the physical side, so it’ll be important to get there 100% fit and weꦉll rested," said Marquez. 

"It’s a difficult circuit, but I still like it a lot: it’s a very m♕ixed one, as it flows in some area🌸s, while in other parts there are more direction changes. 

"We will need an agile but also stable bike. We’re coming from a couple of encouওraging events and I aim at scoring points in each ꦦrace." 

As expected, Ducati have flown out of the gate to start the 2023 season wꦉith many of its riders.

Bezzecchi, who leads the championship following his maiden race win in Argentina, Bagnaia, Marini, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Johann Zarco and𝔍 Marquez have all had impressive performances over the course of the opening two rounds.

But one rider who has struggled is 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Di Giannantonio. The Italian is contracted to the team until the end of this season, so languishing behind hi෴s fellow Ducati riders won’t be a good sign for his future.

Di Giannantonio ♛has scored points on just one occasion so far this season, which was a tenth place finish during the ꦍGrand Prix of Argentina.

Speaking ahead of this weekend, the former Moto3 runner-up added: "This is the most demanding track on the calendar and we’ll see how the weekend will be with the additi🦄on of the sprint race. 

"It’s quite a peculiar circuit with plenty of bumps, so a very stable 🌄bike will be needed. We’re coming from a good performance in Argentina so we want to continue in this direction and finish again in the top ten."
