Ducati riders have already tipped the eight-time world champion to fight for a ninth, which would tie Valentino Rossi’s total, but the ambition from within his new box isꦍ 𓄧more humble (or, perhaps, more strategically managed…)
“Wit🐈h Marc the expectations are high, but we don't set ourselves the goಌal of winning the World Championship,” Nadia Padovani told .
“We want to be at lea꧋st among the top fiv🍒e in the rankings, yes.
"It's more the൲ desire to start than the pressure, absolutely.
“Because we can't wait to get on track with th⛄ese riders and see where we can get this year."
She reiterated her delight to have recruited Marquez: “It's a fantastic year. We've alrea⭕dy won because we are an independent team that has brought in an eight-time worﷺld champion. We have 10 world titles in the team.
“This is crazy, we ne🐷ver imagined we could ꦰachieve something so important in our career."
Team manager Michele Masini added: “Never before will we have all the ingredients 💃to do very well as in 2024.
“But it's clear that everything remains to be written and I don't want to place any objecti﷽ves, but only to t🎀hink about progress and improve.”
The Mar🗹quez brothers wilꦓl share a box for the first time since the ill-fated early months of 2020.
"It was a dream within our dream,” Masini said.
“There𒊎 is an incredible energy. We have spent the last three days together and there is a nice atmosphere𒉰, with carefreeness and a unique desire.
“I think we can be proud of being able to live this moment toge𒉰ther.
"Having Ale♑x and Marc on the team is an added v♕alue.
“I think we have the best possibl♛e technical pack♏age available but we still believe that the human part is fundamental.
“Who knows each other better than two brothers?
“I mean it will make things easier for us o♎n the sporting side, but it will help us get to know them quicker."
Padovani added: “We are the only team🐓 with 10 world titles inside the garage.
“It has never happe⭕ne🐼d, it happened to us and this gives us a great boost.
“Marc is a very nice guy, he always has a joke ready. I know Alex and I know how he is. He is brilliant and friendly. We got on very well with bꦑoth of them."
