“The man to beat” in 2025, a “future” champ and a key contender tipped to fail
Pred🔯iction involving Marc Marquez provided for 2025

A set of predictions for the 2025 MotoGP season have ඣbeen delivered - and it hints at bad news for the new cღhampion.
The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2025 MotoGP rider line-up features a much-changed cast, with champ ♋Jorge Martin swapping Ducati💙 for Aprilia.
Marc Marquez upgrades his year-old Ducati for a factory seat al🌺ongside the brand’s star Pecco Bagnaia in a duo who are both expected to fight at the front - probably against each other.
“Maꦇrquez will be the man to beat,” Marco Melandri told&nb﷽sp;.
“When he has to be there, he’s there. He doesn’t make mistakes and even when rides go badl𝐆y he straightens them out.
“He crashes moreᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ than the others but he does it when he can afford to, which is i💎n practice.
“The GP23 was far ♎from the GP24 but no-one else got ahead of him with last year’s bike. It is an important yardstick.
“Should Martin get the better of him, for Pecco it co🀅uld be a boost, a stimulus for the response, likewise it could give him the knowledge that he is beatable.
“However, I think Marc will reap his rewards.”
Jorge Martin ruled out
Champion Martin will pay the price for stepping onto the less competitive Ap💫rilia, Melandri believes.
“Next year, no,” Melandri said.
“I honestly don’t think they can close such a significant gap on Ducati, or at any🍰 rate to do it within a season.
“The last time that the Aprilia won was in Barcelona, but the Desmo🌞sedici was close.
“Jorge is not Maverick Vinales or Aleix Espargaro, however I don’𓆏t expect to see him fight for success.”
MotoGP’s next star tipped
Pedro Aco🃏sta will eventually become a star in MotoGP, but probably not in 2025, Melan👍dri insists.
Asked if Acosta could contend this year, Melandri sai💛d: “If the bike improves, yes.
“At the moment KTM is n🌳ot having a golden moment in general so it will not be easy.
“But in my opinion, he is the future.”
Mela🦩ndri added about Acosta: “With Vinales and Enea Bastianini in the team, we will s🦩ee his level.
“But if he had a Ducati, he would alre♎ady be fighting🌠 at the front.”
