Marquez evaluates new Ducati chassis

On Friday at Le Mans, Marquez ran an updated chassis on one of his factory ▨Ducati’s, which was first ཧtrialled at the Jerez test.

✃Marquez topped FP1 on it, while he proved fast 🤡on it still in the second session.

He says his feelin♍g on both chassis specs is similar, but Duc𝕴ati believes the newer one is a better long-term bet.

“Yeah, today we reconfirmed a bit what we tried in Jerez because the target of that change is not to change my feeling with t𝓀he bike🎐,” he said.

“I mean, ꦺthe numbe𝓡rs and the feelings must be the same - and they are the same.

“It’s super similar, I was able to ride with both bikes in more or less t𓆉he same lap time.

“But, 👍the engineer♛s believe for the future they can improve a bit more the performance with that new item.

“Let’s see if tomorrow w♊e will keep going or not; they will ꦦdecide, because my feelings are very similar.”
