Ducati studying “scientific simulations” to predict Marc Marquez’s performance

The MotoGP world will be watching Marquez’s every move next season when he swaps Repsol Honda for Gr💮esini Ducati.
One of the biggest rider moves in MotoGP history is expected to give the current grid’s biggest star his best🙈 shot at winning a ninth world championship.
"We did almost s💎cientific simulations,” Claudio Domenicali told about Marquez. “Comparing his perform🙈ance with that of his brother Alex, who raced in his current team.
“But I won't say the results even under torture…”
Ducati waited 15 years 🍬to return to the top of MotoGP but, through Francesco Bagnaia, have won two championships in a row.
This year the manufacturer totally dominated, with the three title contenders all representing 💃different Ducati teams.
Domenicali predicted next year’s champion: "I choose Pecco: he's Italian, he races in the official team and with him there is ♓a partܫicular empathy.
“Bu𒀰t Marc is a champion, if he is good enough to deserve the title we will be happy.
“He wi🐼ll certainly fight until the end for the World Championship.
"Marc will make us grow further: our other seven champ𓂃io꧋ns have begun to study the way he rides.
“He will be a stimulu▨s, an example. They will all become better.
“We will have greater internal competition, our opponents' race for the World Championship will become more complic💙ated.
“This year Jorge Martin learned a lot from Bagnaia, and Pecco will do the same wit𝓀h 🌠Marquez.
“We will conꦍtinue to raise the level, have you seen Di Giannantonio? Six out of 8 Ducatis have won at least one GP.”
The Italian brand’s dominance means that ne☂w concessions rules have been introduced for 2024 to aid their opponents.
Domenicali said about winning under new conditions: "It seems impos🍸sible. But we're trying.&nbs🌄p;
“Our opponents have asked to change the rules from next year, otherwise we're too strong for them. The organiser satisfied them.&nbsﷺp;
“Noও problem, on the cont🅠rary: for us it is the best marketing campaign."
