168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez insists that 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brad Binder will be in the mix for the 2024 MotoGP championship.

Last year’s title came down to three Ducatis - Francesco B🌃agnaia, Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi.

B🌸ezzecchi fell away in the fi♌nal rounds before Bagnaia won his second consecutive title, but the next-best rider was KTM’s Binder.

Binder ended fourth in the MotoGP standings - a career-best finish - after fiv♔e podiums.

Marquez told DAZN that Bagnaia and Ma💫rtin will𒀰 begin the year as the favourites to win: “They are the two riders to beat.

They are the ones who have done the mo😼st complete 2023.

“Pecco at the 🌠level of consistency and managing situations and Martin at the l🙈evel of speed.

“They will be there, for sure, and the third one I wo🧸uld put is Brad Binder, depending on the evolution of the KTM.”

KTM is arguably the best-placed manufacturer to fight the dominant Ducatis 🍒this season.

Jack Miller has claimed: “If you weren't able 𓂃to get the red bike, I'm pretty sure [KTM] would be the second on the list. And soon it’ll be the first.”

But what about Marquez’s own title aspirations?

After three nightmare years he has quit Honda and will debut for𝐆 Gresini Ducati, riding a GP23, at the season-opener in Qatar on March 8-10.

He confessed: “I am at the level of being able to fight for it, which is the most iﷺmportant thing."

Marquez said about the postseason Valencia test when he rode his new bike for the firs🅰t time: “I was very nervous.

“I had been on the same bike for ten years and, as much as the bike seemed to be g🎃oing well, I had that concern of seeing if I would know how to do it, if I could go fast, if I would adapt well...

“No ⛎matter how much you want to work on getting away from the expectation, seeing so many cameras when you leave the box impresses y𓂃ou.

His smile, delivered after his first run on ♏the Ducati, sent the paddock into a🌟 frenzy.

“It was a smile of 'thank goodness Iౠ went out and it went well’ꦛ.

"I have changed bra🃏nds and there is a lot of excitement from p෴eople.

“They tell me: 'You're going to win the wꦑorld championship!'

“I tell them that ꦦI haven't won𒊎 a race in two years.

“If I haven't won a race in two years I ca꧟n't e♚xpect to sweep, I can't expect to win a championship, first I have to build.”
