168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez was ‘sandbagging’ during the preseason Sepang test, 🤪claims Simon Crafar.

The Gresini Ducati rider was far more low-key during the tꦉhree day test than he was in Valencia last year, when he stole the show.

But there are signs from within the paddock that Marquez might have been holding back his true pot🍨ential o💝n his new bike.

Ex-racer and now MotoGP broadcaster Crafar watched Marquez in Sepan🐟g: “He’s not got parts to test because he’s in a satellite team. But he’s getting to know the GP23.

“He’s changing the bike a ꧟lot. It’s going up and down.

“He’s exploring, which is what testing is for. H๊e’s getting to know what he likes.

“Something🎐 I noticed; the riders that are up the top, they’ll head out on a soft rear, bang, do the time.

“The next run they do? They’ve taken so much life out of it, they’re no longer in the 57s, they’re in the 58s. Thꦯen in the 59s.

“Marc h♉asn’t been doing time attacks, he’s been keeping it in the 58s. ওHe’s doing runs out there, keeping it consistent.

“So, my impression, is that he’s testing. When I go out on track, the ꦦonly place where he’s aggressive - the Marc we✃ know - is in braking.

“He looks impressive! I predict he’s going to be the hardest Duc💝ati rider in the braking zone this year.

“Pecco has been, then he’s been thr𓄧eatened by🍌 Jorge Martin and Enea Bastianini.

“But I think 🍸Ducati will have a new 🍌braking area champion!

“The rest, he h♓as been doinꦦg it smoothly and consistently.

“The last turn, he is going consistently wide. It’s not the 🎉sort of thing that an eight-time world champion does.

“That,🐻 to me, points to sandbagging a little. Losing time consistently on one corner.

“He knows that he can just go, bang! And the time wilꦯl go, when he𝓡 wants it, when he can put the rest together.

“It’s my gut feeling watching.

“It doesn’t mean that I t🔯hink ✱he’ll win the first race yet. But we haven’t seen what he can really do.

“He’s🧸𝓡 working hard to make friends with this bike. He’s trying everything with Frankie Carchedi, from positions on the bike to geometry settings.”

M♔arquez was 14th-f𒈔astest on Day 2 of the preseason Sepang, which Crafar was commenting on.

He was ninth on a tricky Day 1 which included teꩵchnical issues. And sixth on Day 3.

But his sprint simulations caught the eye.

Marquez did 10 ꧃laps with an average time of 1m 59.059s. Both Marc and his brother Alex posted faster times than Alex’s winning time 💯in last season’s Sepang sprint race.

Pramac’s Jorge Martin has already claimed Marquez will fight for victory 𝔉in the season-op⛄ening Qatar MotoGP on March 8-10.
