168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez was grilled about whether KTM were♉ an option, before he signed his new Ducati deal.

ౠMarquez has penned a contract to ride for Ducati’s factory team in 2025 and 2026, gaining access to official machinery and additional support.

Before he won the rollercoaster race against Jorge Martin for t🎀🥂he coveted bike, KTM lurked as a rumoured alternative.

Marquez was asked if it was ever realistic that he c🎀ould form a ‘dream team’ alongside Pedro Acosta in KTM colours.

He told : “Out of respect for the brands, I am♛ not going to say either Plan B or Plan C.

“I was very clear tha꧅t my number one priority was a Ducati.

“Because I already mad👍e a big change last year, and I didn't initially feel like making another big ♕change.

“I wanted to continue where I was or turn red.

“Those were my two optio💯ns and I was able to get the one I liked the mostඣ, the best.”

However, Marquez was very complimentary about Acosta who could emerge asꩲ a future rival.

Acosta’s transition to the premier class has been se💦amless this year♔, and he will be promoted from Tech3 GASGAS to KTM’s official team in 2025.

Marqu🔜ez was asked which MotoGP rider he admires and tips for a big future.

“I hav⛎e always said it: Pedro Acosta,” 🀅he answered.

“Evꦦeryone has been arrivi൩ng and they are going fast.

“You se꧅e it with Pecco🐠 and Martin, but Pedro Acosta arrives and does different things.

“At the moment, he still lacks the experie🍒nce of controlling all situations.

“But he does arrive and do different things.

“He can mark a few years in MotoGP.”

So, does Marquez see himself in the young talent?

“Yes, yes, yes,” he said.

“When I arrived in MotoGP I found Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Dani🐈 Ped💟rosa.

“That is now Pedro Acosta, who with patience and calm will do ve🌳ry well.”

Rather than teammates, Marq🌠uez and Acosta will be factory rivals next sea🍨son.

Perhaps, even, with the 🌊championship on the line.
