168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez’s commercial power has been cited as a key reason for why Du▨cati chose him for their official team next year.

Ducati’s big choice for their 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP rider line-up went Marquez’s way, after a U-turn when it originally seemed Jor♒ge Martin would get the nod.

As well as his on-track performances🤡, financial reasons hav🌼e been mentioned for Ducati bringing Marquez into their main garage.

Broadcaster Simon Crafar commented from the Dut🌟ch MotoGP this weekend: “Whether you like it or not, whether you think it was unfaꦰir on Jorge, which is quite right…

“🐻Whether you think it was the obvious choice to take Marc, which is quite right…

“I don’t blame Ducati or thei𓆏r parent company at all. He 🔯gets the most publicity.

“He is so♛ determined🍸. He makes it happen. In this battle, he’s the only ‘23 machine in it.

“He hasn’t bee🦩n on it long. Gigi Dall’Igna sees all the d🤡ata, he sees what he’s doing, with what he’s got.

“I imagine, also, sponso𝄹rs were keen on it. The parent company, Audi, keen on marketing.

“All of that together,⭕ 🅺I totally understand why they did it.”

Marc Marquez: Pecco Bagnaia is #1 inside the garage

Pecco Bagn📖ai🌠a claimed in Assen that Ducati did not consult him over the choice for his next teammate.

Marquez also ins💫isted that, until they reunited a♍t Assen this week, they had not spoken about Ducati’s big decision which was made in the days after Mugello.

“No, we didn’t 🦩have the cha𝕴nce to speak with Pecco,” Marquez said.

“He’s🍰 the champion. For me, it’s something super nice. This year I am learn🐷ing how to ride this Ducati from him. Next year we will keep it in the same way.

“He’s the #1 inside th൩e garage. He is the onꦺe that won in the last two years.

“We will try 100% to be close to him. On the race tr🐼ack we will compete with each other but inside the garage we🌱 need to help the team to be the strongest on the grid.”

The atmosphere between two world champions, Bagnaia and Marquez, as teammates on M💞otoGP’s best bike next year is certain to be interesting.

But this weekend, at the Dutch MotoGP, their more pressing concern is the ti🌺tle battle.

Pr✤amac’s Martin leads the championship, 18 po🐓ints ahead of Bagnaia.

Gresini’s Marquez is third, 35 points from Martin, and still awaits a maiden victory 𓃲on a Ducati.
