Reflecting onꦰ his day, he said: “I expected to start in a good way - or, I was looking to start in a good way.

“ﷺIn fact, from the first run I found the same feeling as I 𓆏was riding here in the test.

“That was important. It’s true that this afternoon with hotter ♑temperatur🍌es it was a bit more tricky, but we understand really quick the way to fix.

“Good day, solid day, and tomorrow we ne🦩ed to k🐲eep going.”

Starting the wඣeekend strongly, Marquez says the fact he is dialled into the Buriram track after testing means there is little room for improvement over the remainder of the round.

“This weekend, not much, because we ride 200 laps🅷 in the teജst here,” he added.

“Sꩲo, we start already in the morning and we did 29 low in the first run.

“It’s not the normal way to work i🔯𒊎n a weekend because normally you set up a bike and then you improve a lot.

“But here, the margin is small. It’s true that checking the papers, I saw on the lap times and the race pace that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pecco [Bagnaia] is very close to me, which at t🥃he moment on paper [I] have the best pace.

“But the most critical point, or the most important point, will be qualifying tomorrow because🅠 starting on that front row, maximum second row, will 🐼be the target.”

Team-mate Bagnaia was knocked out of the Q2 places after he was🏅 blocked on his final flying lap of Practice by Franco Morbidelli, ending the session 13th.

Ducati’s factory riders will raꦡce with the 2024 engine this year, while Marquez🔥 acknowledges that his bike is pretty much identical to Alex Marquez’s.

“What I understand, but this maybe Davide Tardozzi or Gigi [Dall’Igna] c🦩a🌸n answer better, we are riding with the same bike right now,” he said.

“It’s exactly the same. Of course, now the factory team, we will introduce new things overꦚ the season that they are already thinking on how to improve.

“But this first race, the bike is very, very similar. This is what I understand, but I don’t ꧒know about the mechanics.”
