168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez’s adaption to the Ducati “hasn’t been as easy” as he might have wished for - but his testing times might be hiding his true perfꦉormance.

Simon Crafar, ex-racer and now broadcaster inside the padꦐdock, kept a watchful eye on Marquez’s first preseason as a Ducati rider and saw the difficulties of his switch from Honda.

His final lap times were not eye-catching in Sepang or Qatar but, ahead of this weekend’s season-opening Qatar MotoGP, there remains mystery about Marquez🍷’s competitiveness.

“I really think it might not have bee💟n easy for him,” Crafar said about Marquez adapting to a new bike.

“I know that I put the word “sandbagging” out there. The reason I said that was because Marc never shows his full h🧸and before the race! He doesn’t!

“In 2019, when he dominated, he was eighth in testing. Not showing his ful෴l hand.

“But I know it hasn’t ⛎been as easy, as I reckon he would’ve hoped.

“He’s over 30 years old. I’m not saying that’s too old. But at that age you struggle to adapt to motorcycles 🐟as quickly.

“More so than in your 20s, especiall𝔍y early-20s or mid-20s when you adapt quickly.

“You are more set in your w🅺ays. He’s had how many years on ওa Honda?

“It’s a totally different style an📖d it has🍌 been hard for him to adjust.

“But he’s so good at race craft. When he gets out into the race, 💦he finds a 🅺way to make it work.

“He’ll be there! He’s not a big 💦fan of the circuit, whereas Al꧙eix Espargaro is.

“Aleix will have a good one here, because🙈 he loves it, and the bike is strong here.

“Marc ꧑is the opposite. If he finishes top five or six he’ll be satisf꧟ied and on target.”

There are some considerations that Marquez might attack the first part of the season, knowing his Ducati rivals on the GP24 should get stronger as they learn about their new bi꧂ke’s developments.

Gresini’s duo of the Mar♈quez brothers, and the VR46 pair, will ride GP23s this year.

Marquez will know that his first chance for victory will ♒come at his favourite circuits, Crafar insist🐓s.

“When there are race tracks which suit him? And he knows the bike better? He will be🍌 big trouble…”

Six-time MotoGP champion Marquez moved to Ducati to reinvigorate his hoꦛpes of a seventh title♑ but, first, he must learn how to ride the bike that was used by last year’s title contenders.

Crafar explained: “The Ducatiꦜ has more rear grip, and accelerates really we𒁏ll.

“So you have to use that to make the lap time.

“The Honda didn’t have thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚat, and still doesn’t. So he had to make the lap time with the fron🔜t, pushing so hard on entry.

“We’ve seen him fall so much because he 💃pushes the front so hard.

“He said that when he rides naturally, and tries to go faster, he goes to that Honda style - he pushes the front t𒈔oo much, the rear suffers, meaning he doesn’t get everything out of it.

“Don’t do that! Use what the strengthsไ are of the motorcycle💦.

“Don’t click back into your o🅺ldꦦ way, when you push.

“That’s one thing that he’s fighting with.

“Also, you ha꧅ven’t spent ღtime on this motorcycle on different tracks.

“So you don’t really know the base setting yet.

♎“When he finds that? At a track he likes? He’ll be there fighting for the win, I’m sure.”
