Marc Marquez “riding Ducati like a Honda, I need to take out 11 years of habit”
Mar🌼c Marq🍰uez says "I am still riding the Ducati like a Honda"
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has agreed with Luca Marini’s description of the Ducati and the H🎀onda requiring opposite approaches to handl🐻e the rear tyre.
New Gresini Ducat🌼i recruit Marquez has detailed his difficulties in adjusting to a new bike after spending so long with the same manufacturer.
Marini, who went in the opposite direction from Ducati to Honda, has claimed at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP Sepang test that he is learning how to tame aspects o෴f his nꦚew bike.
“Completely ag💃ree. It’s completely different, the way to use the rea🌱r tyre,” Marquez said after the second day (Wednesday) of testing in Sepang.
“For that reason, I am st💯ill riding the Ducati likeও a Honda.
“In Valencia it was okay. But here? No.
“I need to take out the habit of 11 years with one bike. This is difficꩲult.
“Especially when you are in a rhythm it is easier, because you have more tim⛦e.
“On a time attack, you are not thinking. You go🐓 by instinct.
“If I ride by ins𓄧tinct, I ride it like a Honda. That is not the best way to ride this bike.
Step by step. It is a process.”
Marquez was only 14♍th-fastest on Wednesday, +0.984s behind leader Enea Bastianini.
🤪Sepang has been a far more humbling experience for the eight-time world champion than the postseason Valencia test where he shone on his Ducati debut.
Marquez will ride the GP23 this season, while factory Ducati and Pramac rivals step onto the latest-spec vers🥂ion.
And in Sepang, his Ducati is still running a gen♏eral 'standard' set-up, to allow him to grow into his new surroundings.
“I was using a standard setting from the other Ducat🍃i﷽ riders,” Marquez said.
“I don’t want to lose the way. I do🐷n’t want to go to another set-up.
“Because this set-up is what I used yesterday. Today it worked better. This means I understand🌳 the bike better.
“We are trying a few things. My technician is ✃trying to understand my riding style.
“We did some big c🏅hanges today on the bike. Some positive, some negative.
“In the end, w♛e are riding with a very standard set-up.♐”
But when Marquez was asked if he was s🐟truggling to stop the Ducati, he explained: “It’s true that the way to stop the Ducati bike is diff𒉰erent.
“But, on the braking point, I am not losing. I am gaining compared to the oth💞er Ducati riders.
“I need to understand the rear grip. It’s a lot, but♏ you need to understand how to use.
“With a used tyre I am ꦜable to be at a good pace but, still, I do not taꦗke enough profit.
“But stopping the bike? Step by step I understand better and♋ better. I was struggling, then in the second part of the day, I wa𓆏s better.
“At the moment, I am losing more on the e🎃xit of the corner. Especially the fast corners. Oꦰn slow corners, I am fast.
“But on fast corners you need to have the confidence in the bike to push. I♔t’s there wh🎃ere, still, I am struggling.
“Still, I a๊m stiff on the bike. Today I started to enjoy it a bit. That’s why I did 10 laps in a row.
“At the moment, I need laps. Maybe I did too much because t♕omorrow I will feel it!”
Thursday is the final day of the Sepang test.
Marquez’s plan: “Tomorrow all t﷽he riders will do a time attack in th♛e morning.
“I will try to concentrate because this isꦿ where I suffer more. I am far f🐠rom the top guys.
“But this is the🎃 normal procedure. It was not norma🍨l in Valencia when immediately I was fast. Normal procedure, when you take a new bike, is understanding new things.
“With a used tyre it is easier to unde⛄rstand bec🌱ause you have 15 laps to work.
“The programme will🔜 be to do a 💝time attack. I was planning to do another long run but I don’t know! I am feeling the physical condition!”
