Similar, although still very different, to those of Márquez with Rossi or mine in the Sixties with Mike Hailwood”.
The crucial aspect in the Martin-Bagnaia challenge according to Agostini
Agostini then analyzed the challenge between Martin e Bagnaiawhich certainly sees the first favorite given the 24 points advantage, but with Pecco who according to the winner of 15 world championships has an advantage in what could be a decisive aspect for the fate of the season:
“The self-control of both will be crucial to manage the tension. You can’t go wrong anymore on this aspect I feel like saying that Bagnaia has some advantages. He has won the world championship twice and has already experienced this type of tension. They are two great riders, although different: Martín is more impulsive, while Pecco is more reflective”.
Agostini: “Marquez is my weak point, he’s more reckless than Rossi”
As stated by Augustines himself, the challenge between Martin e Bagnaia it reminds him of those from a few years ago Marquez e Rossi and speaking of the two most recent great dominators of MotoGP, Giacomo expressed his preference, which fell on the Spaniard: “Marc is my weak point, because I think he inflames the audiencethe people who go to watch the races. He’s a show guy and everyone loves him. Rossi is great. An intelligent driver. Anyone who wins nine world titles must be damn good”.
Augustines he then returned to their rivalry, then explaining the reason that pushes him to prefer Marquez a Rossi: “They weren’t the same age. One had just started, while the other hadn’t and this may have influenced the outcome of those challenges. I recognize that Rossi also generated enthusiasm, but the truth is that, if you think about it, for me Márquez is more reckless, daring, audacious. He’s a fighter and people could like him more. Marc never gives up, it’s pure entertainment”.
