After being the unquestionable leading man on his first appearance on a Ducati MotoGP bike, Marc Marquez took on more of a supporting role second time around
In his second outing on a Ducati MotoGP bike, Marc Marquez took on a supporting role due to technical issues, finishing outside of the top 10. However, many still believe he will perform well, with his brother and teammate, Alex Marquez, stating that he is already “too close” and Jorge Martin predicting he could potentially win in Qatar. Despite the challenges, Marquez logged a significant number of laps during testing and pushed himself to maximize learning. He acknowledged that he still needs to improve certain aspects of his riding style, particularly in corner exits. While he may not have topped the timesheets in Sepang, it is unusual for Marquez not to be the fastest Ducati rider.
