Ma💝rc Marquez explains the mind-set behind his first crash on a Duꦦcati

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez has opened up on his first time cras🉐hing a Ducati.
The new Gresini rider fell from his GP💛23 in the final hour of preseason MotoGP testing in Qatar.
He is coming off a season where he set the🌄 unwanted record for his most-ever amount of crashes (29) but, by losing control of hi🍒s Ducati for the first time, it may be an indicator that he is edging closer to its limit.
"It's true [Tuesday] waꦰs the first day that I have increased that intensity on the bike,” Marquez told .
“It was the first day that I🏅 said ‘if I 💞fall, I fall…’
“And,♉ in fact, the first fall has come. But it was time.
“It was the last day of preseason. It was ti🎀me to raise this point.
"In fact, it was at the end of the day, the fall.
“Doing the long run, where I wa🌠s challenging myself to improve po🦂ints.
“Bec♛ause there are some corners where I lose, especially with respect to Pecco Bagnaia, Enea Bastianini and Jorge Martin, who are the ones I have reference in the same factory.
"We will see what happens in the grand prix.
“But we are still a little far from these three or fou😼r riders who are making the difference.”
Marquez’s preseason was otherwise fairly low-key as he continued his adaption from th♓e Honda, which he rode for 11 years, to💫 the Ducati which dominated MotoGP last year.
Last season’s title contenders Bagnaia and Martin ༺step onto the developed GP24 this year, while Gre𝕴sini and VR46 riders are left with the GP23.
"With what I ha🌺ve,🧜 I'm going to give my best,” Marquez said.
“I'm having fun, w🐻hich is importan🅘t. I'm enjoying myself.
“Whether I'm in front or not, we'll see.
“Logically, if you're in front, you'll have a better time, but it's true that at the moment Pecco , Bastianini and Martin have a little more th♑an the rest.
"But we have already mana💙ged to reduce these dis🔴tances that we had in Malaysia, for example.
“At the🎐 moment we still have those two or three tenths left that are the most difficult to reduce.
"There 𓆏are still a few things missing. The important thing and the evaluation of the preseason is goo♉d.
“Because we have𝔍 done a solid preseason, without getting nervous, respecting the times that were needed to get to ♔know the bike.”
The season begins on March 8 in Qatar with Marquez’s true pඣotential on the Ducati still a mystery🅷.
