Motogp, Marini teases: "There is interest in making Marquez win"

Bologna, November 27, 2024 – Luca Marini takes a dig at Marc MarquezThe 2025 world championship is already starting to be discussed, when the eight-time world champion will ride an official Ducati alongside Pecco bagnaia with the intent of taking back everything that was his. For Vale's brother, there would be a certain interest in seeing Marc win the ninth world championship of his career, which would mean equaling the Doctor, who failed to obtain the tenth in that fiery 2015. The possibility, given the performance of Marquez with the 2023 bike, he's all there, because he'll ride the best bike in the world and the same as his teammate Bagnaia, so in a fight on equal terms without the third wheel Jorge Martin, who moved to Aprilia, who will have to gradually discover the competitiveness of the Noale bike.  

Marini: “Noted interest in letting Marquez win”

It promises to be a spectacular World Cup, with a home duel between Marquez e bagnaia, but also with Aprilia's ambitions with Martin e Bezzecchi and those of KTM, despite the financial crisis but with a pure talent like Pedro Acosta in the official team. Then the Japanese, from whom we expect a signal, especially from Fabio Quarterly and Yamaha. In all these movements, for Luca Marini there would be interest in making Marc win again in the paddock Marquez: “I don't know how the world championship will go, but I see interest in making Marquez win again. I think the victory is already written”, Marini's thought that leaves no room for doubt. On the other hand, bagnaia he has a great opportunity to prove himself the best, beating the best: "Pecco can confirm himself among the greatest in history and everyone would recognize him as a champion. Up until now he has not been given enough credit for the two titles won in the top class".

Tardozzi: “Nobody brakes like Bagnaia”

Davide will make the two souls coexist Tardozzi, the sporting director, who for now can rely on the data of the two riders with the same bike in Barcelona and in general on those of 2024, which convinced Ducati to promote Marc: “The engineers look very closely at the performance of the riders and take everything into consideration – his words to Speedweek – When I look at some data on the computer Marquez shows things that no one before him was able to do. In some aspects he is superior”. Comparing the two, Tardozzi thinks like this: “They have different styles, in some areas Marc is better and in others Pecco, but no one brakes like Bagnaia”. As for Ducati’s rivals, Tardozzi shows he is not afraid of KTM and Aprilia despite having two fewer bikes (from eight to six): “Two fewer bikes make themselves felt, but we have the best pair of riders in the world championship. Pecco and Marc will improve the bike and we are not afraid of Aprilia and KTM”. Read also - Marquez: "I found the answers I was looking for, I can fight for the title"
