Ducati's Davide Tardozzi criticises Marc Marquez: “I don’t accept what he says, what do you gain?”

Marquez’s 2023 MotoGP season has been beset by ✤falls, widely believed tඣo be the result of over-ambition on a Honda machine which cannot cater towards his obvious brilliance.
He has not completed a ⛎grand prix this year but has come under criticism from Davide Tardozzi, who claims the Honda star must change his approach.
“He tries to do more things than the motorcycle allows him to do,” the Ducati team man🍬ager was quoted by .
“For me he shouldn't fall and he should get the bike⭕ to the box.
“I 🐠don't accept what he says, th🍌at he tries and falls. What do you gain with that?
“He is a person with a ver𓆉y strong character and [finishing] fifth does not suit his character, but in my opinion someone should tell him that it is better to think differently. It is my opinion."
Muꦆch of M𝔉arquez’s year has been spent either on the sidelines or in the gravel.
Yet he has still dra𝕴wn the ire of multiple rivals, notably crashing into Miguel Oliveiꦬra and Johann Zarco.
He has also irritated Francesco Bagnaia and Maveri🍸ck Vinales for his tow🌼ing tactics.
“I criticise some of his actions that a ch♛ampion like Marc Marℱquez should not do,” Tardozzi said.
“From my point of view, of course, Marc says that the regulations allow him to do some things when he finds himself in difficulty that I don't see well.&nbsඣp;
“He's ri🐻ght, but I think that a champion like him should be more humble and see what his level is.

“He d𝓰oes not help Honda by being second on the grid at Mugello, because that was not his position for his bike and what he does does not sit well with the fans.
“And I don't like it, because you 🐭have to respect a champio🃏n like Marc, because he's very brave.
“Really, he's one of the top five of all time 🀅and he can't tarnish his image with certain actions.
“I remembe෴r when in the past, at 🎃Mugello, he entered the pit lane following Maverick.
“There are things that are not done and that champions should not ღdo.
“That is my point of view, but he is right when he says that the regulatio⭕ns a🦹llow it."
Tardozzi’s team remain the benchmark in MotoGP’s 2༒023 season, and Marquezಌ is trailing a long way behind despite his illustrious history.
“Marc Marquez is not an enemy of Ducati, he is a🃏n adversary, which is different,” Tardozzi said.
“Seeing a champion who is suffering is something that 🍬disgusts me.♏"
