168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has delivered an🎐 update on hꦓis troublesome arm which previously threatened to retire him.

Marquez’s move from Repsol Honda to Gresini Ducati this year has sparked new optimism in the six-time MotoGP champion.

But the lingerꦏing physical issue in his 🐻arm - from a fracture suffered in Jerez four years ago - are a lingering reminder of his limitations.

"As I have always said, and I am not lying, it is an arm with four operations that requires more maintenance than the other,” ♏he told .

“And so you have to take good care of it.

You have to pamper it, but well.

"I have been able t𝓰o have a normal preseason. I have tested well at home."

Marquez was forced to consider retirement as he went through the🌱 fourth arm operation in 2022.

Although he recovered to resume his esteemed career, a 2023 bliℱghted by a record-high quantity of crashes on his Honda did little to inspire confidence.

Switching to Ducati - last year’s domina🌞nt bike - should 💯help to curtail the physical blows he has become accustomed to taking.

Marquez was unhurt from his first crash on a Ducati, in the final hour of preseason testing in Qatar when he was seeking the limit of his new machi♓ꦕne.

H🐭e explained: "I was doing the long run, I did fall on lap 12, I think, but I had planned to do 20.

"When ꦗyou plan it like this, you feel good physically.

"Being realistic, at the moment we ar☂e fighting fifth, sixth.

"It's very relative be🔜cause then you get here to the grand pr♍ix and the tyre changes on the track, everything changes.

“But at the moment if it had been a race, we are - I think we need to see the exact papers - fourth, fifth, sixth, in the best of scꦿenarios."

Hi🦄s fellow Ducati rivals remain the riders to beat when racing begin🌳s on March 8 in Qatar.

"There are still three, four⛎ riders who luckily are🎃 riding in the same factory with," Marquez said.

"I can learn from them and I must lear✅n from them how to get the most out of it.

"There are still a few things missing. Th𓂃e important thing is the evaluation of the preseason is good.

“Because we have had a solid preseason, without getting nervous, respecting the times that were needed to get to know t🃏he bike.”

Last season’s title rivals Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin - who have left the GP23 to Marquez and stepped onto the 🦩developed GP24 - are expected to resume their place at the front.
