Marc Marquez has revealed the extent of the aero testing Ducati faces at Sepang
Ducati is facing challenges with their aerodynamic package at the Sepang MotoGP test, forcing Marc Marquez to evaluate four different aspects. The brand has been a dominant force in aerodynamics for the past decade, but has been dealing with a split between running different aero packages last year. This trend has continued into the 2026 pre-season as Ducati works to homologate the best version before the season opener. Marquez emphasized the importance of focusing on aerodynamics due to homologation requirements, with a need to assess different combinations for the 22 races. The team showcased a new front fairing and various aero package variations this week, highlighting the complexity of choosing the best setup under current regulations. Ducati faces a significant task in determining the optimal aero package for the upcoming season amidst stiff competition.
