Marquez adapted "much faster than expected" to Ducati MotoGP bike
Marc Marquez, who was previously contracted with Honda until 2023, has finally been able to share his thoughts on his first experience with the Ducati after the year ended. In the post-season test at Valencia, Marquez had a chance to ride the Desmosedici for the first time after riding for Honda for his entire MotoGP career. Due to his Honda contract, Marquez was only allowed to speak about his test from January 1. Marquez stated that he was able to adapt to the Ducati quickly and that it is a different bike with a different style compared to the Honda. Despite being fast in his first test, Marquez believes he still has a lot to understand and improve upon, especially in terms of communication with the team. Marquez will be joining Gresini without his usual group of engineers and will participate in the team’s official launch on January 20 before riding the bike again in the pre-season test in Malaysia in February. This year, Marquez will be partnering with his brother Alex at Gresini.
