Although Misanoꦓ was his weakest round since the summer break, Marquez remains in good form as MotoGP gets set for the first Indian gran🔥d prix.

A double points finish at Misano means he’s scored points in six of the last eight races, which includes a victory i♊𓂃n the sprint at Silverstone. 

But with the playing 𒅌field completely level heading to the Buddh International Circuit, Marquez has been doing all he can to get an advantage.

"The Indian event is a question mark for everybodyꦓ," said the Gresini rider. "We’re getting ready with what we can: by playing videogames, watching F1 races and then once there we’ll try to get to grips with the track as quick as possible. 

"And then Motegi, which can be veryಌ favourable with all its heavy braꦑking areas. 

"W💞e’re coming from two positive – albeit not perfect – weekends and we’re eager to show our potential and kee✅p growing."

On the other side of t🥀he garage Fabio Di Giannantonio has called this weekend’s Indian GP a ‘blank slate’ for the entire grid.

Likely to lose his seat for 2024, Di Giannantonio has shown better pace in rece💧nt rounds ahead of a potential move back to Moto2.

Di Giannantonio added: "I always liked n♛ew tracks as they’re a blank slate for everybody and it’s where the good work done with the team really comes out, without data or previous references. 

"I expect a track with very little gripꦡ but also ver෴y fast, so it may adapt well to our characteristics. 

"In Japan first of all I have a surprise in store, and it’s also a track with some heavy braki♔ng and I know th💃e Ducati will be competitive there."
