A test which was organised by the Aruba.it Ducati team, all eight of the Italian manufacturer’s MotoGP riders were in attendance alongside a full line-up of WorldSBK riders.

What was a two day test was impa൲cted by red flags on the final day as Franco Morbidelli suffered a nasty 𓆏fall.

• Marc Marquez o♔n MotoGP aero: ‘It looks lik🌜e F1, I don’t like it'

The Italian was hospitalised as a result, but prior to that, both Marquez brothers came to Morbidelli’s aid when he was sﷺtranded between turns seven and eight.

Speaking about the accident, Alex Marquez said🐠: “We [himself and Marc Marquez] were in turn five and we saw the red flag on the panels.

“Then ওwe arrived in turns seven and eight, th♍e change of direction, and he crashed there. There, it is very dangerous.

“He was in a really bad position, unconscious so we put down the bike and put him iℱn a lateral position just so he could breath.

“He starꦛted to breathe but the ambulance took around two minutes to com𝄹e.

“It was a lo🐲ng ๊two minutes so it was just a human reaction. Everyone would react in that way.”

While that ꦕwas Marquez’s first on-track appearance of 2024, the Gresini ♚rider will again be on circuit this weekend as MotoGP pre-season testing gets underway at Sepang.

Marquez, who has been aboard the GP23 bike just once in Vale🌃ncia, wants to understand more the engine character 🅺in Sepang.

“Iꦑ want to understand a bit more about the engine character and how it is different to the 22 [bike],” added Marquez.

“W⛦e need to understand what we need to try and🍷 work with the electronics.

“The rest is pretty similar but the engine characte💖r is the m෴ain point that I want to work on.

“The engine braking looks like it is a little bi♚t better but on the acceleration it looks different how the power comes to you.

“It’s true that Valencia is a very speci🍎al circuit and the conditions were a bit different.💎”
