“Mentality switch” prediction as Marc Marquez tipped for COTA glory

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has been tipped for various leve🅘ls of glory at COTA thi﷽s weekend on the latest episode of the Crash MotoGP podcast.
Marquez has won at the Circuit of the Americas in Texas seven times 🐭on a Honda, and returns this year on a Ducati for the third round of the 2024 MotoGP season.
“It’s set up to be nicely put for him to ge🎐t his first win, or wins, this weekend,” Jordan Moreland said.
Robert Jones replied: “He ha📖sꩲ to be eyeing up a win.
“Now, with the added element of a sprint, if Marquez doesn’t win at least one of the race🔯s he would leave COTA disappointed.
“Put everything aside, what has happened over th༺e past few𝔉 years. His record at that circuit is phenomenal.
“There is no rider that has♉ been able to match Marquez.
“Marc’s consistency at that circuit has been in🦹credible.
“Aside from the incident in Portimao with Bagnaia, he has also been consistent this season. In qꦰualifying and races.
“Marc has always been up there, showing an ability to be in the top five, while learning the bike at two circuits whic𝔍h are not his best.
“For him to be that strong going into COTA, a circuit which he loves and 🀅where he has a 🐷unique ability to make an at-times bad Honda do miraculous things?
“ꦯNow he’s on the best bike, a bike which is more consistent, and will give him the feel he needs…
“It’s a bike that other Ducati riders have been strong with a🅷t this cir💝cuit.
“Everything lines up for him to win🎶 one of thꦺe races.
“He 🍬has shown he can be strong in the sprints and grands prix so there isn’t one fꦓormat which suits him better.
“If he can qualify well, whichꦇ he should, then Marc will look at winning one of the races. And I think he will.”

Jordan Moreland added: “His best ride at COTA was when he was at his worst physically, with a bike which was reallꦅy difficult to ride.
“He loves left-hand🌊ed corners. He tested at COTA when he was a♔ rookie.
“There is something about this place 🤡which is made for him.”
Pe꧋ter McLaren explained: “It’s scrappy, it’s bumpy, different surfaces, slippery. All the things which Marc, as a dirt tracker, likes.
“It all comes together with the ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚlate braking. It is quite stop and go.
“When you look at the⛎ map it looks flowy. It might be in a Formula 1 car with loads of downforce but, with bikes, it’s not as fast as it looks on paper.
“The corners☂ toward the end𒈔 of the lap are quick but a lot of the S’s are second or third gear.
“Marc was able to wrestle the bike around.
“Now it will be interesting to see with the Ducati. He hasn’t been wrestling the bike, he ♛has looked smooth. How will that adapt to this track?
“It’s hard to believe that Marc will be 🌄anything other than fast this weeke෴nd.”
McLaren added: “It’s the kind of track where the rider caꦆn make the difference, as long as the bike is near.
“The Ducatis have won there previously.
“Everything is there for Marc to do well⛎. Qualifying will be key. It wi🌟ll be a big part of the weekend for everybody but especially for Marc to avoid front tyre pressure problems.
“If he can get to the front early? You wouldn’t count out him getting to the front and di🎐sappearing!”
Jones made hi🌊s prediction for the weekend’s races: “I’m going with Marquez to win the sprint and Enea 🗹Bastianini to win the grand prix.”
McLaren’s prediction: “Also Marc to win the sprint, and ch♐ampioওnship leader Jorge Martin for the Sunday race.”
Moreland’s prediction: “I think Martin will win🧸 the sprint with Marc on the p♊odium, and Bagnaia. I think Marc will win the grand prix.
“There will be a mentali♊ty switch. He has seen the first two races, what Pecco and Jorge have 🍸done.
ꦜ“Marc has shown good pace but has strꦍuggled with the front tyre.
“If he gets out front, qualifies well, it’s a different thing with the gran❀d prix. He’ll go and push. Marc will win the grand prix!”
