Francesco Bagnaia and Marc Marquez will begin their rivalry at the Thai Grand Prix this weekend. They have worked effectively in the pre-session, but now the tension could begin to grow.

Bagnaia and Marquez offer similar feedback to Ducati engineers, a welcome surprise for the team. They agreed to stick with the 2024 engine after reporting the problems with his successor.

He just believed that Ducati would compete with a bicycle highlighted by “GP24.9”, the two riders start the season as his favorite title. Bologna’s outfit was so dominant that they do not need complete updates to stay ahead.

This year, there may be no Jorge Martin figure in satellite colors. Fabio di Giannantonio drives a factory-SPEC bike, while Alex Marquez and Franco Morbidelli both impressed.

But none of these riders have shown enough to indicate that they can threaten the Ducati world champion. Bagnaia is trying to recover the number one plate after abandoning it at Martin last November.

Marquez, meanwhile, has a glorious opportunity to win his first title of the decade. This would be his seventh in the Prime Minister’s class and his ninth overall.

Keith Huewen is afraid that Francesco Bagnaia is going to fall into Valentino Rossi’s trap against Marc Marquez

Former Grand Prix Runner Keith Huewen issued his verdict in the Ducati battle as part of an OMG season preview! Motogp. He considers Marquez as the favorite.

He warned that the injury could play a role in the outcome of the championship – Martin is already outside Thailand – but believes that Marquez is so extensively strong that it will be untouched.

He pointed out Andrea Dovizioso, who ended up as a runner -up behind the Spaniard for three consecutive seasons between 2017 and 2019. He never managed to get close to 37 points.

Even Valentino Rossi was unable to cope with Marquez’s power, Huewen argues. The doctor came out at the lost end of their bitter rivalry in 2010.

“I think Pecco is cooked,” Huewen said. “I think it is. If there is no injury – and with MotoGP this is the main thing, look at Jorge Martin – Marquez is such a weapon intellectually, physically and professionally.

“Pecco may be stoic. He may be prepared for the race, but you only have to see Dovizioso’s situation in the past. Anyone who was around it challenges Marc Marquez … You don’t get any bigger than Valentino Rossi, and Marc Marquez saw him mentally.

PECCO Bagnaia’s aristocratic gesture when Boud Marc Marquez fan club

Bagnaia has promised to remain “Lord” in Ducati despite the criticism of Davide Tardozzi’s boss. His authorities as an athlete will be put on the final test this year.

Indeed, some people believe that Marquez has already started playing mind games with pre-Semitic Bagnaia tests. It reaches Buriram widely supported by a victory after the explosion of the field.

The Bagnaia fan club is already hostile to Marquez, a legacy or his duels with Rossi. He told them that there was no need to hit a recent event in Italy.

It is invoiced as a legacy that determines the season for the 28 -year -olds. If it has to be placed on the highest scale of riders, it must take on the ownership of the Ducati group.
