168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez ha😼s delivered an update on his troublesome arm which pr🎀eviously threatened to retire him.

Marquez’s move from Repsol Honda to Gresini Ducati this year has sparked new optimism in the six-time MotoGP champion.

But the lingering physical issue in his arm - from a fracture suffered in Jerez four years ago - a🐠re a lingering reminder of hi👍s limitations.

"As I have always said, and I am not lไying, it is an arm with four operation▨s that requires more maintenance than the other,” he told .

“And so you have to take good care of it.

You have to pamper it, but well.

"I have been able to ha💃ve a normal preseason. I have tested well at ho𝔉me."

Marquez was forced to consider retirement as he went through the fourth arm operation in 20🍃22.

Although he recovered to resume his esteemed career, a 2023 blighted by a record-high quantity of crashes on his Hon💜da di🐠d little to inspire confidence.

Switching to Ducati - last year’s𝓡 dominant bike - should help to curtail the physical blows he has become accustomed to taking.

Marquez was unhurt from his firsꦜt crash on a Ducati, in the final hour of preseason testing in Qatar when he was seeking the limit of his new machine.

He explained: "I was doing the long run, I did fall on lap 12💖, I think, but I had plann💟ed to do 20.

"When you p✃lan it like this, you feel good physically.

"Being realistic, at the moment we are fightin🉐g fifth, sꦏixth.

"It🐓's very relative because then you get here to the grand prix and the tyre changes on the track, everything 🙈changes.

“But at the mom𒆙ent if it had been a race, we are - I think we need to see t🔯he exact papers - fourth, fifth, sixth, in the best of scenarios."

His fellow Du🤪cati rivals remain the riders🐻 to beat when racing begins on March 8 in Qatar.

ꦆ"There are still three, four riders who lucki🍸ly are riding in the same factory with," Marquez said.

"I can learn from them and𓃲 I must learn from them how to get the most out of it.

"There are still a few things missing. The important thing i🌌s the evaluation of the preseason is good.

“Because we have had a solid preseason🍬, without getting nervous, respecting the times thaﷺt were needed to get to know the bike.”

La💛st season’s title rivals Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin - who have left the GP23 to Marquez and stepped onto the developed GP24 - are expected to resume their place at the front.
