The true potential of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez on a ꦓDucati co☂uld be realised next week at Portimao.

The Ducati debut of the esteemed eight-time champion at the season-opening Qatar MotoGP yielded a P5 sprint fin🌠ish and a P4 grand prix finish.

At a circui🍸t which Marquez has only won at once before,♐ his first MotoGP round with the Gresini team was widely considered to be promising.

Neil Hodgson told TNT Sports that Marquez showed potential: “Yes. He’s back! It’s a traℱck he doesn’t like.

“For m🌳e, he still isn’t comfortable and hasn’t found a s✤etting that he likes.

“We will know more after Portugal because that’s a proper🧸 weℱekend without two days of testing beforehand.”

Sylvain Guintoli added: “He’s still got the appꦚroach whe🌸re he wants to understand the bike, understand the riding style, understand the best balance.

“He’s str💜ong in the braking zone so that’s something they don’t 🎀want to lose.

“From what he said, he took it easy and didn’t want to mak🧸e mistakes, but in Portimao he will unleash🍃 the beast!

“I took from his interview that he gave 95% to understand what was going on, but in Portimao he will unleash the beas🐟t!”

Marquez had previously🃏 said:&🐲nbsp;“Of course, we tried and we pushed [for the podium], but it was not possible.

“They were faster than me. But it's not a frustration because I already said on Thursday; Our position is 4th-5th-6th. In fact, yesterday 5th [in the Sprint] toda♔y 4th.

“Always the podi🧔um was close. But it's true that still I don't feel 100% comfortable to ride like I want. But let's see if we can improve for the next race🐓s.”

Mar👍quez is getting to grips with the GP23, while Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin move onto the developed ‘24 bi🔯ke.

Still making subtle adjustments to find the ideal set-up as he adjusts his riding style from the Honda to the Ducati, therꦛe is a feeling Marquez will continue to improve.

But he෴ has neve🔯r won at Portimao, in three attempts since MotoGP began racing there in 2020.

Marquez was the top satellite rider in the sprint and the grand prix of Qatar so there is a reason꧅ for optimism but the consistency of Bagnaia and Martin remains a big𓂃 obstacle to overcome next weekend.
