B🃏ut what success will look like acc🍌ording to Lorenzo will be based on three factors.
Speaking on the ꦆMotoGP.com preview podcast, Lorenzo said: “Well after the first day in Valencia which was so impressiv🔴e, everyone was thinking Marc would win all the races.
“But I d෴on’t think it w🎃ill be like this. Like we saw in Sepang he had some difficulties and I have some question marks with Marc.
The first one is how much time he will need [to adapt] with the Ducati be🍃cause he still hasn’t comp🧜letely understood the way to ride the bike.
“He was s♋till riding a little bit like he was riding the Honda as the conversation with Pecco showed.”
Marquez has already demonstrated very good race pace potential in pre-season testing, while his time attack performance took another sꦫtep forward༒ in Qatar.
But the difference between the 2023 and 24 machines could play a pivo𒁏tal role in how competitive Marquez is, according to Lorenzo, while the physical condition of Marquez should also be taken into account, says the former three-time MotoGP champion.
“The second question mark should be how much difference there is between the 2♌023 Ducati and the Ducati 2024 will be,” added Lorenzo.
“How much has Ducati evolved their bike in one year? If the difference is quite big; Jorge Martin and Pecco Bagnaia are not bad riders, they are two of the best and if they have a better bike than Marc, who also doesn’t have the experience with the Ducati, this 🧸could be key.
“The third question mark is his physical condition. Is his arm fully recovered or does it sꦏtill need some time to get to the maximum, or will it never be the same as before.
“This is🦩 my third question mark I hav🤡e that only he knows and his personal team knows.”
