Although Misano was his weakest round since the summer break, Marquez remains in good form as MotoGP gets set for th🌸e first Indian grand prix.

A double points finish at Misano means he’s scored points in six of the last eight races, which includes a victory in the sprint at Silversꦍton♌e. 

• Garcia: “Wi👍th Pedrosa everything is possible, the podium was ours…” 
• Jack Miller admits ꦛlosing his KTM to Marc Marquez “is a possibility”

But with the playing field completely level heading to the Buddh Int🌠ernational Circuit, Marquez has been doing all he can to get an advantage.

"The Indian event is a question mark for everybody," said the Gresini rider. "We’re getting ready with what we can: by playing videogames, watching F1 races and then once there we’ll try to get to grips with the track as quick as possi🎶ble. 

"And then 🎀Motegi, which can be very favourable with all its heavy braking a🔯reas. 

"We’re coming from two pꦚositive – albeit not perfect – wee🤪kends and we’re eager to show our potential and keep growing."

On the other side of the garage Fab෴io Di Giannantonio has called this weekend’s Indian GP a ‘blank slate’ for the entire grid.

Likely to lose his seat for 2024, Di Giannantonio has shown💃 better pace in recent rounds ahead of a potential move back to Moto2.

Di Giannantonio added: "I always liked new tracks as they’re a blank slate for everybody and it’👍s where the good work done with the team really comes out, without data🌟 or previous references. 

"I ex🌼pect a track with very little grip but also very fast, so it may a🐼dapt well to our characteristics. 

"In Japan first of all I have a surprise in store, and it’s𝓀 also a track with some heavy braking and I know the Ducati will be competitive there."
