After declaring himself sorry for Bagnaia's defeat and predicting a 2025 targeted Marc Marquez, Luca Marini has returned to talk about the outcome of the 2024 MotoGP championship that saw Martin excel and he did so by honoring the winner and admitting the faults of his friend and fellow member of the VR46 Academy.
"The one who gets the better of it is always the right rider - were his words as reported by Motorsport.com - Last year Jorge made a big mistake in Indonesia, while Pecco made many this year, so if he lost it is because of this."
"Despite being extraordinary, he missed out at some points. That can happen. If I think about when I finished second in Moto2 it was because of points left behind on several occasions. These are races," he continued in his reasoning.
In spite of a noteworthy consistency, the rider from Piedmont failed to achieve his goal of a third successive title in the premier class. "He had a great season, but of course, everyone will remember who won the World Championship, not the one who took home 11 race wins. It's a real shame, but for example in the Barcelona Sprint in May he was leading and he crashed on the last lap. Without that crash he would have done it. Better not to think about it anyway. Next year he will have the opportunity to claim his place in history by beating Marquez," he concluded, recalling the upcoming challenge with the Spaniard on equal terms.
