Marc Marquez: “It was the first day that I said ‘if I fall, I fall…’”
Marc Marquez explains th♓e mind-set behind his first crash on a Ducati

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has opened⭕ up🦂 on his first time crashing a Ducati.
The new Gresini rider fell from his GP23 in the final hour of prese♈ason MotoGP testi꧋ng in Qatar.
He is cಌoming off a season where he set the unwanted record for his most-ever amount of crashes (29) but, by losing control of his Ducati for the first time,🔯 it may be an indicator that he is edging closer to its limit.
"It's true [Tuesday] was the first day t♕hat I have inඣcreased that intensity on the bike,” Marquez told .
“I⭕t was the first day that I said ‘if 🥂I fall, I fall…’
“And, in fact, the🔥 first fall has come. But it was time.
“It was the last day of preseason. It was time to ra๊ise this p✨oint.
"In fact, it was at the end of the day, the fall.
“Doing the long run, where I was challenging myself ꦍto i🐬mprove points.
“Because th🎀ere are some corners where I lose, especially with respect tﷺo Pecco Bagnaia, Enea Bastianini and Jorge Martin, who are the ones I have reference in the same factory.
"We will see what happens in the grand prix.
🥃“But we are still a littꦅle far from these three or four riders who are making the difference.”
Marquez’s preseason was otherwise fairly low-key as he continued his adaption from the Honda, ✱which he rode for 11 years, to the Ducati which dominated MotoGP last year.
Last season’s title contenders Bagnaia and Martin step onto the developed GP24 this year, wh☂ile Gresini and VR46 riders are left with the GP23.
"With what I have, I'm going to give my b🐈est,” Marquez said.
“I'm havꦚing fun, which is importan🎉t. I'm enjoying myself.
“Whether I'm in front or not, we'll see.
“Logically, if you're in front, you'll ﷽have a better time, but it's true that at the moment Pecco , Bastianini and Martin have a little more than the re𒈔st.
"But we have already managed to reduce these distances that we had in Malaysia, for ⛎exam💧ple.
“At the moment we still have tho🌠se two or three tenꦚths left that are the most difficult to reduce.
"There are 🐼still a few things missing. The importa🅷nt thing and the evaluation of the preseason is good.
“Because we have done a solid preseason, without gett♑ing nervous, respecting the times that were needed to get to know the bike.”
The season begins on March 8 in Qatar with Marq🌠uez’s true potential on the Ducati still a mystery.
