A test which was organised by the Aruba.it Ducati team, all eight of the Italian manufacturer’s MotoGP riders were in attendance alongside a full line-up of WorldSBK riders.

What was a two day test was impacted🐭 by red flags on the final day as Franco Morbidelli suffered a nasty fall.

• Marc Marquez🌃 on MotoGP aero: ‘It looks like F1, I don’t⛎ like it'

The Italian was hospitalised as a result, but prior to that, both Marquez brother𝔍s came to Morbidellಞi’s aid when he was stranded between turns seven and eight.

Speaking about the accident, Alex Marquez said: “We [himself and Marc Marquez] were in turn five and we saw the red flag on the panel💧s.

“Then we arrived in turns seven and eight, the cha🍃nge of direction, and he crashed there. There, it is very dangerous.

“He was in a really bad p🅷osition, unconscious so we put down the bike and put him in a lateral position just so he could breath.

“He started to breathe but the൲ ambulance took around two minutes 🦋to come.

“It was a🍷 long two minutes so it was just a ♋human reaction. Everyone would react in that way.”

While that was Marquez’s first on-track appear🅘ance of 2024, the Gresini rider will again be on circuit this weekend as MotoGP pre-season testing gets underway at Sepang.

Marquez, who has been aboard the🔴 GP23 bike just once in Valencia, wants to understand more the engine character in Sepang.

“I want to understand a bit more about the engine character and how it is 𝔍different to the 22 [bike],” added Marquez.

“W🐼e need to understand what we need to try ෴and work with the electronics.

“The re♍st is pretty similar but the engine character is the ෴main point that I want to work on.

“The engine💞 braking looks like it is a little bit better but on the acceleration it looks different how the power comes to you.

“It’s true t🌳hat Valencia is a very special circuit and the c𒆙onditions were a bit different.”
