Marquez "will raise the level" of Ducati’s MotoGP competitiveness – Tardozzi
On Tuesday, Marc Marquez, eight-time world champion, will test a Ducati bike for the first time, marking his departure from Honda with one season left on his contract. This move has raised discussions about how he will adapt to the Ducati team. Ducati’s sporting director, Paolo Tardozzi, believes that Marquez will elevate the team’s competitiveness even further and expects him to finish in first place at the end of the test. Marquez himself has observed his brother’s riding on the Ducati and noted that he was riding well, with good braking and line choice. However, Marquez also had a near crash while trying to follow his brother’s pace during a practice session in Sepang.
