Francesco Bagnaia will fight to defend the MotoGP title he won last year, and there will be no shortage of competition, especially from the satellite teams of Ducati, where Marc Márquez joins Gresini and the runner-up Jorge Martín continues with Pramac.
The Ducati rider said in a press conference that he expects Márquez to have a competitive bike: ‘About Márquez, I think that a lot of riders will be competitive for the season. The 2023 bike that he will use is a winning bike and for sure better than the one he was using last season. So let’s see’.
As for Martín, Bagnaia commented: ‘I don’t know if Martín will be a rival again. For sure he is a strong rider and will be competitive, but it’s too soon. Let’s wait’.
