Pedro Acosta has delivered a blunt assessment of Ducati’s impressive factory🌌 rider line-up.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez’s arrival into the garage which already had 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia means the dominant MotoꦜGP manufacture🐎r have a duo to boast about.

But, KTM’s Acosta is not convinced by the dynamic.

Acosta was asked if Marquez and Bagnaia are the 2025 MotoGP title favourites but provided a perhaps u🉐nexpected answer.

“We shouldn't put the crown on the king just yet, a sea🐻son is long,” he told .

“Many also talk about them being a dream team.

“But in life there is no dream team, you can't have two No1s in ꦏthe same box.”

Pedro Acosta denies Ducati 'dream team' tag

Ducati moved away fro🌊m their philosophy of promoting internal talent to bring Marquez into thei🐻r red team, but have been justified by his results.

ဣMarquez won the first five races of the season before falling out of the lead in🌊 the Americas MotoGP.

Bagnaia took his first win🌼 at COTA but that meant that neither of the factory Ducati stars went home from Texas as the championship leaꦦder.

Gresini’s Alex Marquez, after a great run of P2 finishes, tops the standings heading into this weekend’s Qatar MotoGP🗹.

Perhaps that was Acosta’s point - that two star riders vying for supremacy could chip ꦅaway at each other’s point tallies.

The dynamic at KTM, for Acosta, is similar.

He entered a garage when Br❀ad Binder was established, and had grown with the manufacturer.

But the KTM is desperately lacking the competitiveness of the Ducati so Acosta and Binder fac♕e different problems.

Acost♔a’s wise wor🔯ds about two No1 riders inside the same box might not negatively impact KTM who will be eager for progress regardless of where it comes from.

But it🐈 may continue to impact the MotoGP title battle, as Bagnaia a🐼nd Marquez scrap for the same prize from within the same box.

Qatar ﷽is widely expected to be a circuit which favours Bagnaia, and the pendulum has swung in his direction after he took advantage of Marquez’s fall to win at COTA.

But COTA was supposed to suit Marquez ꦿuntil he✨ crashed, so Bagnaia will now face the added pressure of converting favourable conditions into a result.

How Ducati continue to manage the ambition of their two star men w🌃ill be key to answering Acosta’s bold claim.
