TNT Sports’ Neil Hodgson insisted Marquez will be “pleased, very pleased” with the first round of 2024, and his first since 🐻leaving Honda.

Hodgson continued: “Look, where did the𒉰 Hondas finish? The top Honda was Johann Zarco in 12🦂th place.

“You’re not in the race, are you?

“So if Marc was on the Honda, of course he’d be in front of [the current Honda ri൲ders]. But he’d be nowhere near the front.

“Marc wants to win but this was a solid weekend 🔜for him.

“I’m pleased he didn’t crash.”

Marquez finished 18 sec▨onds in front of Zarco, the best-placed Honda, in Qatar on Sunday.

Sylvain Guintoli said: “He’🔴ll be happy with that, really happy. He is still adapting to the Ducati riding style after spending all that time at Honda.

“Making that lap time in the braking zones, he’s having to restrain himself, not to push the bike too hard, and to use the efficien💧c𒈔y of the Ducati on the corner exit.

“It’s working. This is not𝄹 his favourite track. He has only won once here, even when he was dominating.

“He’ll be really happy with both of his races. He♕ was close the podium, great race pace, there would have been a lot𓂃 of learning.

“Watch out for Marc Marquez ཧin the rest of the championship!”

Michael Laverty added: “It’s a tough track for him - he’s not crashed, he’s not made many mistakes, he’s brought itꦬ home in fourth and fifth, won points. He’ll be going home happy, for sure.”

Marqu♚ez quit Honda after three injury-ravaged seasons on a bike which became less competitive.

Riding a GP23 Ducati, he finished fifth ꦕin Saturday’s sprint before claiming P4 ౠin Sunday’s race.

Francesco Bagnaia, the reigning champion, won the grand prix after Jorge Martin won the sprint, meaning last year🐬’s title rivals are i🀅mmediately establishing themselves in 2024.

Marquez may have some way to go bef🐭ore he can enter the championship fight, but in Qatar he made notable progress.

Tech3 GASGAS’ ꦿAcosta, meanwhi♛le, is the most exciting rookie in the premier class since Marquez in 2013.

He fell back to a P9 fini꧑sh after exciting overtakes on both Marqu🎀ez brothers.

Laverty said: “A💦t one point, I thought ‘dare to dream!’ A podium on his debut?

“But 🅺there was a comfort issue, he was losing grip. He started to adjust himself on the straights.

“These overtakes were against seasoned campaigners in MotoGP. He means busineꦗss, a class act.

“He’s so in control of his machine. Whether it 🦋kicks sideways when he didn’t expect it to, he got it back in line.

“His overtakes were clinical. He was at one with his motorcycle and it was a shame that he 𓄧dropped back at the end.

“Th♚ere was more in the locker. Without the tyre🎐 wear issue…

“You could see what it meant to him and the team. An excellent first weekend in🎀 MotoGP.”
