Marc Marquez reveals motivation to test new Ducati brake; will he race with it?
Marཧc Marquez explain🐈s plan for his braking at Le Mans after testing different item

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has explained why he wanted to test a new brake on the Ducati GP23 at the MotoGP Jerez test.
He tried a thumb brake on💮 the left hanꦅdlebar on Monday.
“For 12 years I've been used to braking in one way, it's difficult to adapt in💖 jus▨t one day,” Marquez told .
“I'veꦆ tried different things. We won't use the thumb brake at Le Mans.
“I pre♉fer to move forward with my [foot brake] ♋because I have the right sensitivity.
“I have wanted to test [the thumb brake] anyway bec🔴ause both Martin and Pecco use🐷 it.”
Ducati team manager Davide𝓡 Tardozzi described the key item that Gresini’s star rider tested: “Marc has never ♔used the rear thumb brake.
“While we believe that it is impo🙈rtant for riding the Ducati, especially in the accelerat🍬ion phase for controlling the bike.
“We have provided Marc with enough data to be able to understand why and how to u🦹se the mot💮orbike better during acceleration.”
Marquez emerged from the Jerez ꦿtest on ♐Monday claiming that he is now able to be more precise with his feedback to Ducati engineers.
After first riding a version of the Desmosedici at November’s postseason Valencia test, 𒁃Marquez has now featured twice at p🅘reseason tests and raced at four rounds.
Jerez on Monday was the first in-season test day that the Gresini rider has partaken in thꦜis year.
The day after his epic scra🌳p with Francesco Bagnaia, whi♒ch he lost, it could prove to be a pivotal day in Marquez’s season.
The ability to tꦇest items that are routinely used by Bagnaia and Jorge Martin, the GP24 riders and the top two in the current MotoGP standings, is an obvious justificat💎ion for his switch to Ducati.
Marquez is awaiting🤪 his first win since quitting Honda but is b☂uoyed by regularly fighting at the front in the first four rounds of 2024.
At Le Mans in two weeks he will race with the foot brake as usual, rather than the thumb brake that he tested in Jerez, but also with the knowledge gathered on his new ma☂chine from a full day of testing.
