New footage has captured a behind-the-scenes catch-up between 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia at the Sepang test.

Bagnaia was enquiring about how Marquez fared on the ꧂Ducati, a bike which he is still getting to grips with.

Marquez’s showing at the preseason test in Sepang was low-profile although it did𝄹 show s🌊igns of optimism.

Bagnaia asked him face-to-face: “What’s the 🧜bike like? Tough, huh?”

Marquez: “Yes. Different…”

Bagnaia: “I was behind you and I sa🦩w that you were riding it li🅰ke the Honda.”

Marquez: “Yeah, I have to understand [how to ride it]. In this case, [the ty♚re] had 22 laps.”

Bagnaia: “You could see it.”

Marquez: “But I have to💜 understand 𝕴how to do the time attacks.

“Because with the Honda you go into a corner and it starts to accelerate s🐬traight away.

“But, with this, it’s different.”

Bagnaia: “Because this bike doesn’t turn.”

Marquez: “Ye🍌s, t🌸he time attack is what I still have to understand.

“The race pace is easier.”

Bagnaia: “Yes, b🔯ecause in tඣhe end, the bike is stationary, it’s stable.”

Mꦰarquez: “It’s stable, it just go🌟es and goes and goes…”

Bagnaia: “Maybe it’s a little heavy. But it’s sta💝ble.”

Marquez: “It doesn't feel heavier.”

Marquez: “When they put the big aerod⛦ynamics, no.”

Bagnaia: “The latest one?”

Marquez: “Yes.”

ꦑMarquez, after leaving Repsol Honda and moving to Gresini Racing, will rid♍e a GP23 Ducati this year.

That’s the bike which factory Ducati rider Bagn൩aia and Pramac’s J𓃲orge Martin both used to fight for the MotoGP championship last year.

Back-to-baꦬck champion Bagnaia and Martin will, this year, step onto the revised GP24 while the Gresini and VR46 duos will ride year-old versions.
