Rossi’s VR46 squad have enjoyed a stunning MotoGP season, largely through Marco Bezzecchi who claimed his owꦛn and his team’s first ever win in the premier class.

Bezzecchi still has an outside-cha♏nce of becoming champion, a goal which Mari🍨ni also holds.

“Yes of course,” he told .

“Yes, yes,꧒ yes, yes, yes, but you have to go ste🐷p by step. 

“Tಞhe next thing is to win a race and then go to a factory team, to develop a good bike that can be perfect for my ridi♍ng style. 

“Of course, with the Ducati I feel very good.”

Repsol Honda team manager Alberto Puig𓃲 reportedly spoke to Marini at last weekend’s Thailand MotoGP about a possible switch in 20♌24.

“Now I have a contract with my team for next season and I have to do a good job, because we h🎉ave a lot of potential ahead of us,” Marini reacted. 

“But of course you think as a rider in that♊ position, because it is an incredible posit🦩ion even though now the Honda is not the best bike.

“I think Honda will𝄹 once again have a competitive bike to fight for the World Champ♒ionship.”

'When the time arises I will try to go to a factory team'

Marini ꦓadmits thꦑat he will one day exit his famous brother’s team.

“Of cour൲se, ꦍof course, it's something I have to do,” he said. 

“I have to make my way. In my current team, I am very professional, working one hundred percent everyꦓ day, to obtain the best result. 

“But when the time arises I will try to go to a factory team, becau💯se I trust myself a lot to develop a motorcycle. 

“I think I have a very good sensitivity th✱at few riders 𝄹have. I have many strong points.

“I think I work very well in the box wi🍃thꦕ the engineers. 

“My feelings are very clear and I can 🐠explain myself very well in each language and say what the bike needs (I speak Italian, English, Spanish, French and some Polish)💞. 

“And the pressure doesn't affect me either, because 𒐪when it appears it means that you are going to fight for something important and I feel good there.

“I may be in the best🃏 🌳moment of my career, but I am not close to the limit I can reach. 

“I have tꦛo work well with the team and at home, to improve in each race. I have to enjoy this moment, because I am with the Ducati, which is a competitive motorcycle, with which you can win in every race.”

How does Marini remain so serene?

“It is𓂃 because of character a♚nd how you grow. 

“I also work on my interior, my mental exp🔥erience, I learn from💦 mistakes and listen to older people, people with a lot of experience. 

“To my brother, of course, but there are also very interesti💯ng people within the team and from whom I try to learn. 🍌And you even learn from the other riders.”

Maꦍrini will again ride a year-old Ducati in 2024. Can MotoGP’s best machine be impr🐻oved further?

“It is difficul♔t, because it is a very complete motorcycle, with ♉many strong points,” he said.

“But a little ♏more speed on the straigh💟t would not be bad and Ducati is very capable of achieving it.

“It has very good power and aerodynamics and Ducati engineers always hav🔯e something more.”
