Marc Márquez enters Gresini this year, where he will ride a Ducati. The rider rules himself out of the possibility of competing for the title, but not everyone shares the same opinion – starting with the champion of the last two years, Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati).
When asked at a press conference if #93 could be a real contender in the title fight, the Italian replied: ‘Let’s see. We are here to fight and to discover who will be the main contender, so let’s see. For sure he has a good possibility; the bike is fast and he’s Marc Márquez’.
Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac/Ducati) also responded, stating: ‘He’s really strong and we’ll see very soon’.
Confronted with the same question, Marco Bezzecchi (Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing Team/Ducati) simply agreed with his opponents: ‘I agree’, he said.
