Barcelona, within a week, will judge who will be the champion of MotoGP. Jorge Martinis one of the big favoritesbut until the math says otherwise you can’t give up Pecco Bagnaia.
Analyzing this battle in statements to ‘GPOne’, Marco Melandri250cc world champion in 2002, took the opportunity to highlight the level of Marc Marquez.
“Let’s say that Pecco gave Martin good gifts by falling seven times in the race, which is too many. Both have raised the bar a lot. In my opinion, Marc Márquez is the only one to be at his levelknowing that his bike is quite far from the GP24,” he explained.
Indeed, facing 2025, the season in which he will join the official Ducati team, the former rider believes that he will be the big favorite.
“Marquez will be the man to beat. He’s an old dog. When he needs to be there, he is there. He doesn’t make mistakes and even when he gets off to a bad start, he corrects them. He falls more than the others, but he does it when he can afford it, that is to say in training,” he noted.
“A lot of things happened to him in the race because the GP23 is very far from the GP24, but no one else passed him with last year’s bike“, he settled.
