168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc MarquezJoan Mir, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia ar🏅e the last four riders to win thꦚe MotoGP championship.

And while all four riders are aboard factory machinery, two of which are at the same team in Marquez and Mir, there’s an argument to be made that a new 💎champion could be crowned in 2023.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder&n🌱bsp;is a rider who clearly has the talent to win a world championship at this level, however, much will ๊depend on the competitiveness of his RC16.

The same can be said for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Maverick Vinales, who at times was the only rider that could challenge Marquez for outright speed and ability when 🐷the Repsol Honda ri𝐆der was busy winning title after title. 

Sure, there are others who have won multiple grands prix and on💝 💧their day have the ability to do so again.

But there’s one rider in particular t🦹hat many believe will have a breakthrough season this year♏, so much so that he will fight for the title.

We at ltxcn.top also see this rider as a firm title contender - that being Pramac Ducati’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin.

Martin was extremely🔯 impressive as a rookie in 2021 as he claimed several pole positions and a victory at the Red Bull Ring. 

But after struggling to find consistency aboard the Italian manufacturer’s new 2022 machine last year, Martin was instead overshadowed by Bagnaia and the man who beat him to the factory seat for this season, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini.

However, Martin has looked back to his best with Ducati’s updated 20ꦗ23 bike in pre-season testing, and while MotoGP is closer than ever, the Spaniard continued to put his name among the top positions whether it be at Sepang or Portimao. 

When it comes to outright speed, few if any are better than the former Moto3 world chamౠpion.

Winless in 2022, Martin had a glaring chan🃏ce to avoid such a statement being made by winning in Sepang as he dominated qualifying and the opening few laps after leading Bagnaia and Bastianini by well over a se꧙cond. But Martin then crashed out from the lead as Bagnaia then went on to claim a vital win

Therefore cutting out mistakes will go a long way to keeping Martin in the fold when it comes to producing a title challenge, but given the machinery he’s on, which we know will be strong, and his raw ability, it’s difficult to loo🥃k beyond Martin putting everything together this season.

Avoiding injury will also be key, something Martin has stru♚ggled with throughout his career in the Grand Prix paddock. 

The likes of Quartar♏aro and Marquez, who are riders that many would say hold an advantage over Martin in terms of being the complete rider at this stage, are seemingly on 🍨bikes that are not ready to win, which again opens the door for Martin.

Whereas at Ducati, Martin has often shown that he has what it takes to match Bagnaia and Bastianini, two r🃏iders expec൲ted to fight for the title as well. 

Aprilia could pose a threat to Martin or any other Ducati rider winning the title, howeꦐver, consistency will also b♍e needed from both its rider and bike for that to happen. 

While we’re not predicting Martin to win the world title, the Pramac rider does appear to be the best positioned aside from Bastianini 𒈔when looking at potential first-time champions. 

Only Bagnaia, Marquez, Qua🍌rtararo and Bastianini have better odds to become MotoGP champion in 2023.
