Marc Marquez “riding Ducati like a Honda, I need to take out 11 years of habit”
Marc Marquez says "I am still riding the𓃲 Ducati like a Honda"
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has agreedꦓ with Luca Marini’s description of the Ducati and the Ho🌜nda requiring opposite approaches to handle the rear tyre.
New Gresini Ducati recruit M🧸arquez has detailed his difficulties in adjusting to a new bike after spendin💞g so long with the same manufacturer.
Marini, who went in the opposite direction from Ducati to Honda, has claimed at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP Sepang🌊 test tha𒆙t he is learning how to tame aspects of his new bike.
“Completely agree. It’s completely different, the way to use the rear tyre,” Marquez said after the second day (We♛dn🐷esday) of testing in Sepang.
“For that reason, I am still riding the Ducatꦕi like a Honda.
“In Valencia it was okay. But here? No.
“I need to take out🦩 the habit of 11 years with one bike. This is di♚fficult.
“Especially when you are in a rhythm it is🀅 easier, because you have more time.
“On a time attack, y𒈔ou aღre not thinking. You go by instinct.
“If I ri𓂃de by instinct, I ride it like a Honda. That is not the bes𒐪t way to ride this bike.
Step by step. It is a process.”
Marquez was only 14th-fastest on Wednesday,&n👍bsp;+0.984s behind leader En𒁏ea Bastianini.
Sep𒊎ang has been a far more humbling experience for the eight-time world 🧸champion than the postseason Valencia test where he shone on his Ducati debut.
Marquez will ride the G🐭P23 this season, while factory Ducati and Pramac rivals step onto the latest-spec version.
And in Sepang, his Ducati is still running a general 'standar🐲d' set-up, to allow him to grow into his new surroundings.
“I was using a standard setting from the other Ducati riders,” Marquez sai♉d.
“I don’t want to lose the ♒way. I don’t want to go to another set-up.
“Because this set-u💎p is what I used yesterday. Today it worked better. This means I understand the bike better.
“Weꦛ are trying a few things. M𓃲y technician is trying to understand my riding style.
“We did som🍒e big changes today on the bike. Some positive, so♛me negative.
“In the end, we are riding w🐈⛦ith a very standard set-up.”
B꧒ut when Marquez was asked if he was struggling to stop the Ducat🐼i, he explained: “It’s true that the way to stop the Ducati bike is different.
“But, on the braking point, I am not losing. I am gaining comp🌳ared to the other Ducati riders.
“I need to understand the rear grip. It’s a lot, but you need to understand h๊ow to use🌊.
“With a used tyre I am able to be at a good pace but, still, I do not t💖ake enough profit.
“But stopping the bike? Step by step I understand better and better. I was struggling, then in the s🐽econd part of the day, I was better.
“At the moment, I am losing more on♈ the exit of the corner. Especially the fast corners. O✃n slow corners, I am fast.
“But on fast corners you need to have theꦛ confidence in the biܫke to push. It’s there where, still, I am struggling.
“Still, I am stiff on the bike. Today I started to enjoy it a bit. That’s why I🐈 did 10 laps in a row.
“At the momenꦑt, I need laps. Maybe I did too much because to🥂morrow I will feel it!”
Thursday is the final day of the Sepang test.
Marquez’s plan: “Tomorrow all the riders will do a time attack ꦇin the morning.
“I w🔯ill try to concentrate because this is where I suffer more. I am far fro🎃m the top guys.
“But this is the normal procedure. It was not normal in Valencia when immediately I was fast. Normal procedure, w☂hen you take a new bike, is understanding new things.
ও“With a used tyre it is easi🧸er to understand because you have 15 laps to work.
“The programme will be to do a time attack🃏. I was planning to do another long♛ run but I don’t know! I am feeling the physical condition!”
