Gresini sp💞orting director asked if Marc Marquez is a legitimate MotoGP title contender...

The noises coming out of Gresini Ducati appear to be quietly confident about 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez.
A P5 in the sprint then a P4 in the Qatar 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP didn’t quite a🐲llow Marquez to go under the radar, as he might have wished on his Ducati debut.
But the talk from inside the paddock is getting louder ab🐻out what Marquez might accomplish when he is fully adjusted to his GP23.
Michele Masini, the Gresini sporting director, told about Marquez’s first race with the team: "ꦬFrom a general point of view, the balance is positive.
“It has been a solid weekend for our team, on 🌠a track that is not easy for us.
“It is not one of Marc's favourite tracks and where Alex always has 🌞problems, some vibration, some chattering.
“So we caﷺn say that we ꦦare leaving Qatar quite happy.
"[Marc] wasn't far away. That means 🍸he's already at a good level.
“It's cl🎉ear that he still needs to know the correct riding style for this Ducati🎃 when the tyres drop.
“That's what's important here and then it wil💖l make him take a step towards the end of the races.
"He is missing some little things, but it is clear that it is a continuous 🔴evo♛lution.
“In the꧙ end, he has done a few kilome꧒tres on that bike.
“He is changing things every day, he is adapting and transmits things to us that we also vary to make it eas🎐ier for him.
“Let's say it's not that far away…”
His teammate and brother Alex Marquez, in his second year with Gresini, finished P7 ✅in the sprint the💜n P6 in the Sunday race in Qatar.
"Ale🦂x had a pretty good weekend, especially in race pace,” Masini said.
“It's cl꧋ear that starting on the third row is not easy.
“There are the KTMs that always start very strongꦕ. 70 percent is the🍸 start. It's not easy either to overtake with these tyre pressure regulations.
“So it is difficult to manage🦹 the races here, but we are also satisfied with Alex.
"I saw Alex very focused, both in the test and in the grand prix, focused on his work, because that is what counts, it is useless t🃏o be distracted.
“Marc, his potential, is there.
“They will surely be rivals in all the races, they will fight for the posꩲitions that count, but what makes them stronger is thaꦫt they both stimulate each other.
“After each training sess🐬ion we exchange opinions.
“🌼The team can take a big leap in quality by sh⛦aring everything."
Is Marc Marquez a legiti𝓀mate MotoGP title contender, Masini was asked?
"The podium is✤ a goal th𝓰at we all seek, but I am very happy,” he replied.
“I could say that it is going well this way bec🌄ause it gives us a low profile and we have a solid base with which to start.
“Now we have done the first rꦚace, the ice has been🍰 broken.
"The first objective is for the riders to h🐻ave fun and I saw a smile on both of them, which is the most important thing for us.
“The title🍰? We'll talk in the middle of the season…ꦯ”
