It’s been over 1,000 days and almost 3 years since 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez last stood on the top step of the podium at a MotoGP race, during the 2021 Emilia Romagna (Misano) ⛦round.

The long-awaited 60th MotoGP victory is the last real milestone missing from Marquez’s revival season at Gresini Ducati, which has produced three runner-up finishes so far, two of them by less tha꧋n half a second.

Another potential cha♌nce slipped away on Sunday in Austria, a weekend Marquez labelled as “one of the best”.

The eight-time world champion qualifi𝕴ed on the front row but was forced to start without his front ride-height device engaged, then tangled with Franco Morbidelli at Turn 1 and eventually salvaged fourth.

But with a fact🧜ory Ducati contract already in his pocket for the 2025 and 2026 seasons, Marquez insists this year is for ‘building’ an🍌d that victory ‘will arrive’ next year.

“For me, it doesn't matter,” Marquez said of his ongoing win♋ drought. “I know that this year is a year t♈o build and I'm building.

“I tried to go step by step. It’s true that we st⛦arted [the season] so good, [then] it looks like we did step back and now looks like we come ba🃏ck again.

“In thဣis second part of the seaso♔n we need to keep building and try to be on the podiums. 

"And the victory - if it's not this year, next year it will arr𒈔ive.”

Marquez averaged eight wins a season for Repsol 𝓀Honda from his 2013 MotoGP debut until his arm fracture at Jerez 2020.

He took his fina🐈l three wins on an R𒐪C213V during the 2021 campaign at the Sachsenring, COTA and Misano.

Marquez is curre♛ntly fourth in the world championship but five place♏s ahead of the next-best GP23 rider.
