168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi has offered a bullish defence o꧑f Pecco Bagnaia’s status, as he prepares to welcome Marc Marquez ﷽next year.

M𒊎arquez’s seꩲlection by Ducati for their official team in 2025 means he will share a box with current MotoGP champion Bagnaia.

Their partnership is a𒐪mong the most exciting, and successful, since Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo paired up at Yamaha - a relationship which turned notoriously sour.

“Marc's arrival has been a surprise for everyone: for me, for Peccꦿo, but above all for Jorge Martin,” Rossi is quoted by .

“It will sure🌠ly be hard for Pecco because he will have a very uncomfortable teammate, but I think he has everything it takes to෴ stand up to him.

"Journalistically, I know it's an i🎐nteresting topic, but Pecco didn't need Marquez in his team to prove to be the strongest.

“A rider who has won three World Champ🌺ionships, two of them in a 🦋row in MotoGP with Ducati, does not have the need.”

Bagnaia could become a three-time MotoGP chamꦇpion if he can convert his current lead in the championship.

He is 10 points ahead of second-placed Martin in t✃he standings, ahead of the next round at Silverstone.

Third-placed Marquez is still aඣwaiting a first win on a Ducati, and is 56 points shy of Bagnaia’s tally.

T🧸he selection of Marquez created a ripple effect which saw Martin, Enea Bastianini, Marco Bezzecchi and even the Pramac satellite team exit Ducati.

Ducati have defended themselves against accusations that picking Marquez means a shift💞 in strategy, away f▨rom backing young riders.

Marquez will be the second-oldest MotoGP rider on the grid next year when he shares a team w෴ith Bagnaia. 

He is one premier class championship short of the total accomp🦂lished by Rossi, his great rival.

And b♑y teaming with Bagnaia, that rivalry will have a new chapter written because Bagnaia is a VR46 Academy graduate.
