168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez’s MotoGP rivals shouldಌ fear his dominance after a breath-taking opening round, they have been toldꦿ.

On his factory Ducati debut, Marquez claime💧d pole then won the sprint and the grand prix at the Thailand MotoGP last weekend.

He sits top of the standings already - ar🐭guably the best rider ever on the best bike of today, a fe🔥arsome combination.

His closest competitor on Su🐼nday in Buriram was his brother Alex Marquez, who finished second.

“That plays into Marc’s hands,” Peter McLaren told the Crash MotoGP podcast. “If there’s anybody he’𝐆d like to be fighting with…

“If there’s anybody Marc wants between himself and Pecജco, it’s his brother!”

He added: “We never saw Marc pushing the limit of the bike! There was one moment in Saturday practice when he tried a different ༺s🌜etup, then they realised ‘we don’t need to push the limit’.

“Pecco said ‘Marc was playing with us’ ꦚand that’s how a lot of people saw it. He rode at the pace needed to win, and that’s it🃏.

“🍰Take Marc out oᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚf the equation and we have an even fight between the satellite Ducatis.

“But Marc looks a step ahead of everybody.”

Marc Marquez 'should scare some of his rivals'

𝓰Marquez claimed afterwards that he felt like the best version of himself since 2020, the year wher💜e his injury nightmare began.

Lewis Duncan added: “It says a lot about wheღre he’s at, ꧃in his head, now.

“For the last few years we have seen a rider who is reserved about his potential after the 𝄹injury.

“He never spoke about 2020 as a ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚyear where he could have kicked on.

“It should scare some of his rivals.

Analysis: Marc Marquez’s rivals were spared an even more brutal beatdown

“If that’s the mind-set he’s in, that’s the form he’s feeling, on a bike that is infinitely better than the Honda ever was, you look🐈 at his rivals and think ‘how could they possibly evꦍen think about getting on level terms with him’.

“Bagnaia being on the back foot has maybe exaggerated the gap a bit. The practice analysis after Fri🍰day showed there was under two tenths between them.

“In theory, Pecco should have been closer in the spr🗹int and the grand prix.

“To be that far off, straight away - he was a se🐈cond behind second-place after three or four laps - is a massive amount just to get ahead 💃of Alex Marquez!

“It’s maybe worse than we realised in the winter.

“The challenge facing everyone🌸 is a lot, lot harder.

“I didn’t think Pecco could win [in Thailand] but ♕he needed to be in the ballpark. But he star🍸ts even further back than we thought possible. That’s where the real concern will be.”

Worryingly for everybody outside of the Marquez camp, the second MotoGP ♍round on March 14-16 is in Argentina.

The c💃hampionship heads to the Cir🍌cuit of the Americas afterwards.

That means after his dominant start, Marquez heads to two of his classic favourites next♒.
