To Agostini, the revelation is called Alex Marquez. " Alex is a surprise to everyone, because we have never seen him so fast. “, he underlines. " This year he is in great form, he often finishes ahead of the official Ducati riders, even the world champions. " But be careful, warns Agostini : " Marc is a great talent, he has won eight titles and he is leading the championship, so I think he is the man to beat. »
The tone is just as sharp concerning Pecco Bagnaia, often criticized in recent weeks after several falls: “ To say that he is in crisis is a mistake. At Silverstone, he was having a good race, then he crashed. But when you're on the limit, it can happen. »
Agostini recalls that current racing conditions – powerful bikes, sensitive tires and increased safety – encourage riders to push their limits. Today, pilots know that if they crash, generally nothing happens. In my day, falling could be fatal. You had to be much more careful. »
Giacomo Agostini: “ Toprak Razgatlioglu? Maybe he'll be fast right away, maybe not. »
The champion in title George Martin, currently injured, is also the subject of analysis byAgostini : " It will take time for him to come back. It won't be easy, but I hope he will succeed. It is important for the show. » Regarding his strained relationship with Aprilia, Agostini remains pragmatic: " He chose this team, it is normal that they respect the contract. In England, he saw the motorcycle he would soon ride win. Maybe that gave him some confidence. »
Asked about a possible arrival of Toprak Razgatlioglu in MotoGP, Agostini does not decide but remains open: " Maybe he'll be fast right away, maybe not. It will depend on the bike and the team. But everyone wants to do MotoGP. If he has the opportunity, he should try. »
Finally, on the current hierarchy of manufacturers, Agostini remains clear: " It depends on who works best during the winter. Today, Ducati remains on topIf another manufacturer finds the right project, it could put them in difficulty. But for now, the Desmosedici is still the bike everyone dreams of having. »
With lucid and straightforward words, Agostini recalls that MotoGP remains a sport of constant evolution, where nothing is ever acquired... except perhaps the respect it still inspires in 81 years.
