In the second of the MotoGP pre-season tests, the question repeated in the mixed zone on television and in the huddle in the written press was about his favorite for the 2023 title and there was total unanimity in placing their bets. Guess who is his main favorite?
1
Jack Miller
“My favorite is the driver wearing the number 1 next to me”

2
Joan Mir
“I will say Bagnaia”

3
Fabio Di Giannantonio
“The one with number 1 in the fairing is Pecco, so for me the favorite is Pecco”

4
Aleix Espargaro
“The one with number 1 on the fairing”

5
Pol Espargaro
“Of course Pecco, all the Ducatis basically and the pace of the Aprilias is also good”

6
Alex Marquez
“He is the champion, so Pecco. First Pecco, second Martín, the Aprilias and us. And also Quartararo, because at the end he had a good lap and he left it to me, because he lost until that lap . And Marc has a lot more to go. In the preseason there are those who hide all their cards, those who teach a little and those who teach a lot”.

7
Marc Márquez
“For me the strongest at the moment is Bagnaia, he rides well, his time attack is very fast and this year the QP will be very important in two races. The Ducatis are very fast, but Bagnaia is inside them”

8
Maverick Vinales
“Favorite? It’s hard to beat 8 Ducati. It’s hard to give a name, I see them very strong. We are getting close, but they are really strong right now”

1
Fabio Quartararo
“Pecco, but we have a lot of fast riders”

10
Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia
“It is difficult to say who will be the rival. Quartararo, Márquez, Bastianini, the Aprilias are fast, Marini, Bezzecchi, Alex Márquez are competitive, many and difficult, but if I have to choose three names: Bastianini, Márquez and Quartararo”
