Marc Marquez predicts non-Ducati title contender to keep an eye on
Bezzecchi fell away in the final rounds before Bagnaia won his second consecutive title, but the next-best rider was KTM’s Binder.Marquez told DAZN that Bagnaia and Martin will begin the year as the favourites to win: “They are the two riders to beat.“Pecco at the level of consistency and managing situations and Martin at the level of speed.
“They will be there, for sure, and the third one I would put is Brad Binder, depending on the evolution of the KTM.”Jack Miller has claimed: “If you weren't able to get the red bike, I'm pretty sure would be the second on the list. And soon it’ll be the first.”After three nightmare years he has quit Honda and will debut for Gresini Ducati, riding a GP23, at the season-opener in Qatar on March 8-10.
“I had been on the same bike for ten years and, as much as the bike seemed to be going well, I had that concern of seeing if I would know how to do it, if I could go fast, if I would adapt well... “No matter how much you want to work on getting away from the expectation, seeing so many cameras when you leave the box impresses you.“It was a smile of 'thank goodness I went out and it went well’.“They tell me: 'You're going to win the world championship!'“If I haven't won a race in two years I can't expect to sweep, I can't expect to win a championship, first I have to build.
