Francesco Bagnaia responds to Ducati contract stance: “We saw how it went with Marc Marquez”

The MotoGP champio🐼n’s current deal (like almost every rider on this year’s grid) will expire at the end of the year.
Tying Bagnaia down longer-term is inevitably a priority for Ducati but they will🐭 limit their commitment to an expected two-year deal, despite his ongoing success.
Bagnaia told that he agrees with their policy to not dish out �🐻�long, five-year contracts.
“I, for one, wouldn't sign,” he insisted.
“I want to be stimulated.
“We saw how it went with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez, who had signed a four-year contract renewal with♍ Honda.”
Marquez penned the꧂ unusually long contract with Honda, the team where he had won his six MotoGP championships, but opted to terminate it a year early due to his bike’s underperformance.
Bagnai💜a believes that remaining under pressure leads to the best results.
“I think the๊ best thing is to think about two-year contracts to always do the best,” he said.
“My love for Ducati is there and will remain so. I think it's mutualꦚ."
Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali previously ru🔜led out a particularly long contract for B🌼agnaia.
"N💖o,” he told . “I don't think it would be right for the company and for hi🍌m.
“It's a competitive sport in which things change.
“We all have to always remain under pressure."
Bagnaia will return this 🔥year aiming to win his third consecutive championship.
Although he possesses the best machine in the sport, Jorge Martin will retur♛n wit🎀h a point to prove.
Not to mention the presence of Marquez on a Duca꧃ti which could shake up the en♈tire pecking order.
But Bagnaia plans to remain as the top dog.
“When you win, you just want to win again,” he said.&💫nbsp;
“I wouldn't want to stop at three.
“I wo💛uld like to continue for a long time, I 🌳don't set limits for myself."
