After Marc Márquez defeated Jorge Martín to win the factory Ducati seat, some speculate that he may not even be the best rider. Pol Espargaró raised several concerns about this, putting Pecco Bagnaia, Jack Miller, Álex Rins, and even Luca Marini under investigation.
The KTM test rider, who was already at the Italian Grand Prix this year, was a guest on the “Por Orejas” podcast where he discussed the qualities of some of the important players this year: Since Marc has an older bike, Jorge Martín is either better or worse than Márquez. However, since we’re talking about the best, it’s hard to tell who is superior.”Maybe you take Bagnaia and put him on a KTM and he starts winning, or as happened with Jack Miller, he doesn’t win, and Jack was winning with the Ducati,” Espargaró said, going on to highlight riders who are obviously having a difficult year. Alternately, you could take Luca Marini, who was winning podiums with the Ducati, and place him on a Honda, where he has finished last in every race and sprint of the season. Is Marini riding less well this year? Not in my opinion.’Is Álex Rins a worse rider now than when he was winning with Suzuki?’ #44’s critique did not spare another MotoGP winner. Not in my opinion. Thus, it’s really challenging.
to determine if a cyclist is superior or inferior. Pol Espargaró clarified that it’s difficult to make this kind of judgment because there are other considerations to evaluate: “I agree that he wins more, has more titles, is better in the media, and is better commercially.” However, you need to use caution when driving.
