Marquez arrives in France one point behind youn🌃ger brother Alex in the title chase after an early fall in his home Spanish Gra🐼nd Prix.
It was Marc’s second race mistake this season, the🍨 only races he has lost, but he underlined that pace is not an issue by dominating the Monday test.
The #93 fought back from🦩 13th on the grid for a pair of second places as a Gresini Ducati rider at Le Mans last season.
“I'm happy to get back to work, Le Mans has been a track that's particularly friendly to Ducati ♌in the rec💎ent seasons and last year I scored a podium here,” said Marquez, a French MotoGP winner for Honda in 2014, 2018 and 2019.
“We did a lot🏅 in Jerez in the testing day, I don't know what exactly we'll bring here, but I'm positive. It was a good weekend, it's a shame about the crash on Sunday.
“The weather and temperatures here in France can be a decisive 𒀰factꦑor for the race.”
L🍌ast year’s grand prix saw Marquez snatch second from Bagnaia on the final lap, crossing the finish line less than half a seconꦍd from Pramac's Jorge Martin.
“Despite the weather and temperatures, Le Mans is a track that I've always liked and that suits well to Ducati,🐠” said Bagnaia.
“In Jerez I was solid in the Sprint, in the race I lacked overtakings, but we collected a double P3 and a lot of🌳♈ points.
“Then in the test I made some steps forward, tried some new solutions that we'll bring here too and that can make🦩 us more competitive.”
Bagnaia, 19th fastest as he worked on race pace at the Jerez🍒 test, is currently 20-points behind Alex🌱 Marquez.
