New footage has captured a behind-the-scenes catch-up between 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia at the Sepang test.

Bagnaia was enquiring about how Marquez fared on the Ducati, a bike which he is still getting t𝄹o grips with.

Marquez’s showing at the preseason test in Sepang was low-profile although it did show🐎 signs of optimism.

Bagnaia asked him 𓄧face-to-face: “What’s the bike like? Tough, huh?”

Marquez: “Yes. Different…”

Bagnaia: “I was b🧸ehind you an🐻d I saw that you were riding it like the Honda.”

Marquez: “Yeah, I have to understand [how to rideꦰ it]. In this case, [the tyre] had 22 laps.”

Bagnaia: “You could see it.”

Marquez: “But I have to understand how👍 to do the time 🐼attacks.

“Because with the Honda you go into a corner and it starts to acce꧂lerate straight away.

“But, with this, it’s different.”

Bagnaia: “Because this bike doesn’t turn.”

Marquez: “Yes, the time attack is what I s🍸till have 𝔍to understand.

“The race pace is easier.”

Bagnaia: “Yes, because in the end, 🍨the bike is stationary, i🦋t’s stable.”

Marquez: “It’s s♔table, ꦿit just goes and goes and goes…”

Bagnaia:ღ “Maybe it’s a little heavy. But it’s stable.”

Marquez: “It doesn't feel heavier.”

Marq🌃uez, after leaving Repsol Honda and moving to Gresiꦡni Racing, will ride a GP23 Ducati this year.

꧅That’s the bike which factory Ducati rider Bagnaia and Pramac’s Jorge Martin both used to 🐠fight for the MotoGP championship last year.

Back-to-back champion Bagnaia and Martin will, this year, step onto the revised GP24 while the Gresin🐟i and VR46 duos will ride year-old versions.

Marquez has one final opportunity to set up his GP23 to꧋ his liking, at the preseason Qatar test on Monday.

After those two days of testing he will ente📖r his first ♛race weekend since leaving Honda, in Qatar from March 8.

Rivaꦐls including Martin have already tipped him to challenge for victory on his Duc🌜ati race debut.
