When Marquez joins Gresini in 2024 he will jump on the same bike that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin rode this season.

Factory Ducati rider Bagnaia’s prediction was: “Next year we’ll have a very good bike, you can br🎃ake very hard which he a🌠lready does with the Honda. 

“The engine is fast. I don’t know if he’ll fight🐼 for the championship but he’ll be in the top five, for sure.”

E🗹nea Bastianini said: “[Marc] is an incredible talent. For me, it will be a problem from the first race!”

Pramac’s Martin said:🐼 “It’s a big challenge for us because it’s the only way to compare us to Marc, one of the greatest from history.”

But Marqu♑ez has sugges🍸ted that these remarks were the first psychological games.

He claꦗimed: “It’s what I would say if somebody moves toܫ a good bike!

“I would put pressure on him!🐼 Say he will be super-fast🐻.

“Beಌcause I take pressure off me, ꦕand put pressure on him.

“That’s what they are saying. I am 30, I have many years in MotoGP. When you have difficult moments on the race-track, you think that🦩 you’re performing in a good way but the results are not ﷺcoming and not arriving, then you start to have doubts.

“Especially because, since 2020, my years have been like a nightm🍷are.

“As♓ an athlete, you must sur▨vive if you have a difficult moment. You have doubts, of course, doubts in yourself.

“But these doubts? Next year I will ans♈wer if they are real﷽ doubts, or if it’s okay.

“To think I’ll go out with the bike and win all the races? ♑Impossible.

“But I’d be lying to you ꦰif I say: ‘Noও, it’s okay…’

“It’s new motivation. New motivation means that you want to understand 𓄧many things, to feel again butterflies in your stomach to come to the circuit, that extra pressure…

“Maybe not every race, but to at least be competi♉tive in the top positions in some race tracks.”

Si🐓x-time MotoG༒P champion Marquez hasn’t won the title since 2019 and has endured three years ravaged by injury and a below-par bike.
