168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Ducati team boss Davide Tardozzi says its rivals for the 2025 MotoGP season “are not to be undervalued” but is “ꦯabsolutely confident” the marque will be competitive eve🐓ry race.

On the final day of pre-season testing in Thailand this week, Ducati confirmed that it would be homologat♎i☂ng its 2024 engine for i🎃ts three factory ri▨ders for the next two years.

With the GP25 set to also start the season with a 2024 chassis and a♒erodynamics package, many 🐻have been criticising Ducati for standing still going into the new campaign, which opens the door for its rivals to close in.

Whꦺile Tardozzi is wary of the form Ducati’s rivals have shown in the pre-season, he says he is pleased to🎉 see the increased level of competition.

“I’m happy becau💜se it looks that the rules work,” he told MotoGP’s After the Flag.

“It looks that 💛giving concessions to theཧ brands that have difficulties like Yamaha or Honda works.

“I think that Dorna did a good decision👍. So, we we saw that Fabio [Quartararo] is gr𒁏owing and [Pedro] Acosta is there.

“And I’m very happy for Marco Bezzecchi because Marcoꦜ did a very good job today and [now we’re]🐽 waiting for the world champion [Jorge Martin to be back].

“I am🐬 absolutely confident our riders will be really compeജtitive every race and for the championship.

“But as I said all winter when everybody was saying we’ve already won the title🤡, I know ou🍎r opponents and they are very good.

“They have good riders and they have good engineers, many of them fro💧m Ducati.

“So, I think we are not to undervalue them and there will be some races we will not win and we have to collect points because the championship is more important tಌhan winning every race.”

With Ducati’s engine decision, it means its satellite bikes for 2025 will be much closer in spec to the🌃 factory machinery than last year.

But Tardozzi sees th🤡is as a good thing in Ducati’s quest to dominate the champ𝔉ionship again.

“It’s obvious that there are riders like Alex [Marquez] and [Franco] Morbidelli, we will see what the situation is wi🌟th [Fabio] Di Giannantonio, but in the end I guess that our strong point will be that the satellite teams are really helpful 🎶and fast.

“So, I think in the end we have to compete other brands, not against⛎ ours♚elves.”
