Is it possible that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez was intentionally holding back some of his competitiveness at the preseason Sepang test💦?

We’ll only know for sure when the 2024 MotoGP season begins in Qatar on March 8-10.

But there are already whispers, since the first preseason test ended, that Marquez wa꧋s withholding his true performance.

Ducati Lenovo team m𓂃anager Davide Tar🌟dozzi was asked about this, and replied: “Marc? He’s an eight-time world champion.

“Marc is Marc Mar💟quez! One of the♏ greatest champions in history.

“I 🦹think he is taking his time. He has not shown who he is.

“He will take the time that he needs to ride the bike at the maxiওmum level.

“The possibilities of Marc are higher than what we see here in Malayꩵsia.”

Broadcaster and ex-racer Simon Crafar reacted: “We all knew it. [Marq💟uez] was﷽ methodically working away.

“The ꧑pure volume of work that he was doing, 72 laps and the long runs when othဣers had parked up.

“He’s doing the proper homework.

“By Qatar, he’ll be there.”

Marquez was n💝inth, 14th and sixth across the three days in Sepang.

His opening day was fraught with te𝔉chnical difficulties and he was even forced to clarify that he had not crashed for the first time on a Ducati.

But the Gresini rider started showing ominous signs of progress with his sprint simulatio♓n where he posted an average lap time faster than his brother Alex Marquez’s winning pace at last season’s Sepang sprint race.

He also did𝓡 m༺ore laps than anybody else on Day 2 of the test.

Previously, paddock broadca𓂃ster 𓄧Crafar noticed that Marquez was going noticeably wide frequently at the same corner.

He insisted that Marquez was “sandbagging”, and letting the timesheets te﷽ll lies to his rivals.

On Monday, a two-day test in Q⛎atar wil♔l kick off before the season starts on March 8.
