Marc Marquez’s Ducati this season will lack the developmentඣs that will be added to four of hﷺis rivals’ bikes.

Factory Ducati pair Francesco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini, a🧜nd Pramac’s Jor♓ge Martin and Franco Morbidell, will profit from the new GP24.

The Marquez brothers at Gresini, and VR46’s Marco Bezzecchi and Fabio di Giannantonio, must ride a y♔ear-old Desmosedici.

Ducati technical director D🦩avide Barana told how the newer version will be more advanced than Marquez’s: “"I think the difference between GP24 and GP23 will be hig꧟her than that between GP23 and GP22.”

He identified the key change as “power”.

Barana explained: "Reach 370 km/h? No, it will be noticeable in very few km/hཧ.

“To ♛a⛎chieve almost ten km/h, dozens of horsepower are needed.

“Furthermore, to🌌p speed depends on power, but also on aerodynamics.

"If you have a lot of surfac🐼e area to make downforce, it will cost you more in top sp🏅eed.

“But there arܫe 🧸other things, that's why you have to reach a balance.

"Then, we will have an aerodynamic package, which, as 💯usual, we w✅ill take to Sepang.

“In the presentation we saw the aerodynamics o𒅌f the previous year... also because we have few parts, we always arꦚrive at the last minute.

“The diffe♓rence will be visible. The differe⛎nces are quite clear.

“In the simulations, on paper, it g🤪ives us good results and it ဣhas to be confirmed on the track by the riders, at the level of feeling.”

Marquez tested a GP2♏2 at the postseason Valencia test, his Ducati debut, last year.

He will join every other Mo𝐆toGP rider in testing his new machinery at the Sepang test on♕ February 6-8.

Honda and Yamaha riders will have a head-start,🎃 and be allowed to test at the shakedown on February 1-3, due to the new concessions rules.
