Furthermore, Marquez demonstrated very goo🦩d race pace, as was also the case in 🌱Sepang before a tip off late in the day.
“It was on the plan today to increase a bit the risk on the bike and increase the real limit of the bike,” Marquez told MotoGP.com. “Still, in one lap they are a bit faster but I’m happy because we impr🀅oved our base set-up.
“We improved the time attack and tꦓhen I was doing a very long race simulation; 20 laps but with the red flag it was about 18, but on lap 1ꦓ2 I crashed because I was trying different things.
“The pace was not bad. It was ಌa complete pre-season. The fir♔st crash with the Ducati arrived after six days of testing.”
A technical issue hampered Marqu🙈ez at the beginning of the day, but despite suffering from another technical issue at Sepang, Marquez is not worried heading into the opening round.
“No [I’m not worrie𓆉d], there was only one🍷 technical issue which they resolved super quick,” began Marquez.
“Yesterday we only rode with one bike and when we started today, the ♓first run with bik꧑e number one there was a small issue.
“But they fixed it v༒ery quickly and lucky for 🦹me today was a stable day. It was time to put some more risk on the bike.”
While Marquez has been one of the fastest ride🍰rs when༺ it comes to race pace, the eight-time world champion didn’t want to give too much away.
Asked what position he believes is re🌟alistic for the se💦ason-opener, Marquez said: “Realistically for Qatar - if the race was not I think we can fight for the fifth or sixth position.
“But on the ra☂ce weekend it is different. These guys like Pecco, Martin, Bastianini know very well the bike and just go out, push, and are ver𓆏y quick from the beginning.
“I’m still far from🔴 them but I’m trying to learn theಞ riding style and how they manage the problems. Step-by-step I hope to be closer.
“Will it be enough? At the moment I don’t know but we are a b🍬i🐷t far.”
