168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli acknowledges that the window of opportunity for Ducati’s satellite MotoGP riders might not last long and is determ🐠ined to strike w𝔍hile the gap to the factory bikes is still small.

Gresini’s Alex Marquez has grabbed much of the lim﷽elight but Morbidelli has also been a standout performer on the🤪 year-old GP24, leading 15 laps of the Qatar Grand Prix on his way to a double podium at Lusail.

Morbidelli returned to Europe holding fourth in the world championship, splitting the factory-spec GP25s of Francesco Bagnaia and his VR46 team-mate Fabio di Giannantonio.

But with factory riders set to receive upgra♊des as the season progresses, the GP2🤡4 may soon be outpaced.

“Definitely... We should exploit the very little gap that there is at the moment between our bik🔜e and the factory bikes,” Morbidelli said in Qatar. “There is a very little gap [so] we should use this moment of the year to make better performances.”

The next development milestone is the Jerez test, directly after this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix, where factories will roll out a range of upg꧙rades.

If those upgrades prove successful, the GP25🦩s could start to creep away from the GP24s from the following Le Mans round.

Either way, it will be a major surprise if the GP25 riders - Marc Marquez, Bagnaia ♉and di Giannantonio - don’t become stronger🎃.

For Morbidelli and the other satellit🌊e Ducati riders, that means maximising re🧸sults now, while parity still exists.

Morbidelli finished fourth in🎐 lasꦯt year’s damp Jerez Sprint as a Pramac GP24 rider, before crashing out of the grand prix.

“I’m looking forward to going to Jerez following the great weekend in Qatar with two third places,”꧟ Morbidelli said.

“Last year, it was 💞one of the first weekends I started to be quick on the bike. I was very close to the podium in the Sprint and, even if in the main race I ended up on the ground, I was catching really fast.”

The Italian, who took his final Yamaha podium at Jerez in 2021, is꧋ now chasing🧜 his first back-to-back Grand Prix podiums since 2020.

“We showed a good rhythm so far, and we have to keep going like💞 this,” he said.
