Marc Marquez says there will be more🔯 pressure on him now he is a factory Ducati MotoGP rider, but is “relaxed” about this and “accepts” it.

The eight-time world champion made his debut in the factory Ducati box on Tuesday at 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:the post-season Barcelona test.

Marquez rode the GP24 and GP25 bikes across the test, finishing fourth fastest after 49 laps and trailing team-mate Francesco Bagnaia by 0𝓰.056 seconds.

This test came almost year on from his firs💜t ride on the Ducati at the 2023 post-seaso🌺n test, though the expectations then were different.

Having won three grands prix in 2024 on the GP23, Marquez’s move to the factory te🍌am is expected to see him return to the position of fighting for championships.

Asked by mahbx.com if he felt thiജs added pressure on his first day with the factory team, Marquez replied: “No, I feel comfortable. I feel relaxed.

“Of course the pressure will be there, but in the end I accept. If I didn’t accept I wouldn’t have chosen that w🐭ay to move two years ago to Duꦺcati.

“I like to have the pressure. Then you ꦓneed to manage it, but I know the new responsibility being in the best team on the grid is to try to fight every race for the pod🧜ium positions.

“Then, to be champion or not, as we saw this𓆉 year Pecco won 11 races and he fini⛄shed second. But he did an incredible season and he performed in the best way.”

Marquez had some support from the factory♛ at Gresini this year, but not the level he will have now at the works squad.

But he doesn’t believe he has gained any new insight on why Ducati is so dominant, ༒noting that the way it worked with him at Gresini aꦛlready made him understand.

“I already understood this year, the way that Ducati is working, it’s n𒈔ot only the factory team,” he added.

“It’s the way it is also working with the satellite teams, all the infor💙mation they get ha💧s the same value as the factory team.

“They take care of ♋those details and that makes the difference if you want to be in the correct wa🌺y.”
