168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez says that reverting back to ‘Honda style’ is his main worry during his first MotoGP weekend as a Gresini Ducati rider.

The eight-time world champion, without a race wꦺin for the last two seasons, has spent winter testing trying to adapt from the front-end strengths of the Honda to the high rear grip available on the Ducati.

Clear progress has been made, with fourth place in the final test at Lusail, bu🦋t the Spaniard remains concꩲerned he could slip back into his old style under the pressure and stress of a race weekend.

“My natural riding ♈instinct is still going to Hon🍎da style,” Marquez said. 

“In a test you are calm. You can think about it. But in a race weekend with pressure, with stress, 🎃my natural ꦛinstinct still is riding like Honda.

๊"I need to keep working, keep thinking duri༺ng all of the weekend to ride what the [Ducati] bike wants, not what I want.”

Marquez - who gave his 2024 title predictions as Pecco (MotoGP), Aldeguer (Moto2) and Alonso (Moto3) - joked that the fact he 🐓and former champion Fabio Quartararo were placed in a different press conference to last year’s MotoGP top three shows who the favourites are.

“We're in the second press conference! The guys to be🌄at are in the first one, they are the favourites,” said Marquez, who has played down his chances of a debut Ducati victory or even podium this ☂weekend.

“In the end, [success in] MotoGP is a combination… And to have all these things is super difficult. So the key is just try to accept the situation and be realistic all the time and thꦫis is what I personally do.”
