The clash between 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia won’t have any lingering impact - but served to remind each rid🐲er of the ferocity of their r💙ival.

That is the view of Guido Meda, the legendary Italian MotoGP commentator who grew to become a close confidante of Valentino ♐Rossi’s.

Marquez and Bagnaia are primed to return to action this weekend at the Circuit of the Americasꦰ, the thir♉d round of the 2024 season.

Last time out they each ended pointless, after Bagnaia ꦛclattered into Marque💦z as they fought for P5.

Could the clash - a racing incident, as Race Direction deemed it - have lasting effect😼 within Ducati?

“I would say no,” Meda told . “Rather it makes both of you aware that you are dealing with a rival ♋to fear.

“Bagnaia understood that Marquez is still a tough opponent🍃 in close combat.

“At the same time Marc was able to 'measure' Pecco and unders🥃t🐟ood that he is not someone who gives up easily.

“They are both two mature guys, what happe🐭ned adds further appeal to the championship but I doubt it will degenerate into incorrect episod꧒es."

Marquez is in contention to become Bagnaia’s teammate on the factory Ducati tꦅeam in 2025.

"It's not such a far-fetche𒐪d hypothesis,” Meda said.

“And𓃲 the idea of ​​building a Dreaꦜm Team probably stimulates a sportsman like Gigi Dall'Igna a lot.

“In my opinion Marc wo🦹n't go to Honda or KTM and will stay on a Ducati, and it's highly likely to be the red one."

Enea Bastianini, currently ﷽alongside Bagnaia, also loves this weekend’s circuit in Texas and could ofꦑfer another reminder of his talents.

But Pramac’s Jorge Marti🙈n is leading the standings heading into COTA.

He won t🎶he Portuguese MotoGP and profited from the cl🎃ash between Bagnaia and Marquez.

"His weekend in Portugal wa♋s different from those experienced in 2023, when he arrived on track and was fast straight away,” Meda said.

“But he certainly took advantage of last year's ▨mistakes and raced impeccably in Portugal.

“But it's too earl🌞y to make championship [predictions]."
