The true potential of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez on a Ducati coꦛuld be realised next ꩵweek at Portimao.

The Ducati debut of the esteemed eight-time champion at the season-opening Qatar MotoGP yielded a P5 sprint fi🤪nish and a P4 grand prix finish.

At a circuit which M🤡arquez has only won at once before, his first MotoGP round with the Gresini team was widely considered to be promising.

Neil Hodgson told TNT Sports that Marquez showed potential: “Yes. He’s back! It’s a track he doesn’t liജke.

“For me, he sti🐻ll isn’t♚ comfortable and hasn’t found a setting that he likes.

“We will know more after Portugal because that’s aꦑ ꦦproper weekend without two days of testing beforehand.”

Sylvain Guintoli added: “He’ꦍs still got the approach where he wants to understand the bike, understand the riding style, understand the best balance🌳.

“He’s strong in the braking zone so that’s something the🐼y don’t want to lose.

“From what he said🐈, he took it easy and didn’t want to make mistakes, but in Portimao🦩 he will unleash the beast!

“I took from his interview that he gave 95% to understand what was going on, b♉ut in Portimao he will unleash the beast!”

Marquez had previously said: “Of course, we tried and we pushed [for the podium], but it wa🌺s not possi🍒ble.

“The✤y were faster than me. But it's not a frustration because I already said on Thur൲sday; Our position is 4th-5th-6th. In fact, yesterday 5th [in the Sprint] today 4th.

“Always the podium was close. But it's true that still I don't feel 100% comfortable to ride like I want. But let's see if we can imꦛproᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚve for the next races.”

Marquez is getting to grips with the GP23, while Francesco Bagnaia an🉐d Jorge Martin move onto the developed ‘24 bike.

Still making subtle adjustments to find the ideal set-up as he adjusts his riding style from the Honda to the Ducati, there is a fee꧒ling Marquez will continue to improve.

But he has never won at Portimao, in three attempts since M🧸otoGP began racing there in 2020.

Marquez was the top satellite rider in the sprint and the grand prix of Qatar so there is a reason for optimism but tꦫhe consistency of Bagnaia and Martin remains a big obstacle to overcomeꦫ next weekend.
