Marc Marquez “riding Ducati like a Honda, I need to take out 11 years of habit”
Marc Marไquez says "I am still riding the Ducati like a Honda"
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez has agreed with Luca Marini’s description of the Ducati and the Honda requiring opposite approaches to handle the rear ty✅re.
New Gresini Ducati recruit Marquez has🐻 detailed his difficulties in adjusting to🧔 a new bike after spending so long with the same manufacturer.
Marini, who went in the opposite direction from Ducati to Honda, has claimed at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:MotoGP Sepang test that h🎃e is learning how to tame aspects of his new bike.
“Completely agree. It’s completely different, the way to use the rear tyre,” Marqueꦉz said after the second dಌay (Wednesday) of testing in Sepang.
🐼“For that reason, I a♚m still riding the Ducati like a Honda.
“In Valencia it was okay. But here? No.
“I💦 need to take out the habit of 11 years with one bike. This is difficult.
“Especially when you are in a rhythm it is eဣasier, because you have more t🃏ime.
“On a time🔥 attack, you are not thinking. You go by instinct.
“If I ride by instinct,🎐 I ride it like a Honda. That is not♉ the best way to ride this bike.
Step by step. It is a process.”
Marquez was only 14th-fastest on Wednesday, 𒊎;+0.984s behind leader Enea Bastianini.
Sepang hasꦡ been a far more humbling experience for the eight-time world champion than the postseason Valencia te𒊎st where he shone on his Ducati debut.
Marquez will ride the GP23 this se🎀ason𒆙, while factory Ducati and Pramac rivals step onto the latest-spec version.
And in Sepang, his Ducati is still running a general 'st𒈔andard' set-up, to allow h🍸im to grow into his new surroundings.
“I was using 💎a standard setting from the other D𓃲ucati riders,” Marquez said.
“I don’t wa✤nt to lose the way. I don’t want to go to anoth🅰er set-up.
“Because this set-up is what I used yesterday. T♎oday it worked better. This means I un🌠derstand the bike better.
“We are trying a few things. My technici💙an is trying to understand my riding style.
“We did some big changes today on the bike. 🅘Some posi🌠tive, some negative.
“In the end, we are riding with a ♎very standard set-up.”
But when💝 Marquez was asked if he was struggling to stop the Ducati, he explained: “It’s true that the way to stop the Ducati bike is diffe🦹rent.
“But, on the braking point, I am not losing. I am gaining compared t🦩o the other Ducati riders.
“I need to understand the rear grip. It’s a lot, but yo🎃u need to understand how to use.
“With a used tyre I am able to be at a good pace but, still, I do not take enou𝐆gh profit.
“But stopping the bike? Step by step I understand better and better. I was struggling, then in the second part of the day,൩ I was better.
“At the mome💞nt, I am losing𒆙 more on the exit of the corner. Especially the fast corners. On slow corners, I am fast.
“But on fast corners you need to have𒈔 the confidence in the bike to push. It’s there where, still, I am struggling.
“Still, I am stiff on the bike. Today I started to enjoy it a bitꦺ. That’s why I did 10 laps in a row.
“At the moment, I need laps. Maybe I did too much because tomorrow 🐭I will feel it!”
Thursday is the final day of the Sepang test.
Marquez’s 𝓰plan: “Tomorrow all the riders will do a time attack in the morning.
“I will try to c♍oncentrate because this is where I suffer more. I am far from the top guys.
“But this is the normal proc✱edure. It was not normal in Valencia when immediately I was fast. Normal procedure, when you take a new bike, is unde🎶rstanding new things.
“With a used tyre it﷽ is easier to understand bec꧙ause you have 15 laps to work.
“The programme will be to do a time attack. I✤ was planning to do another long run but I don’t know! I am feeling the physical condition!”
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at t🍰he forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
