WorldSBK sensation Axel Bassani has com🦄pleted his first test of 2022 after riding alongside MotoGP star Marc Marq😼uez in Portimao. 

After returning to motocross action for the first time in three months last week, Marquez completed his first on-track action sinc🦩e winning the Emilia-Romagna MotoGP at the end of October.&🎃nbsp;

Marquez, who was riding a RC213V-S road bike, was joined by his brother Alex Marquez and secౠond-year Superbike rider Axel Bassani. 

𒀰As was the case for Marc and Alex, it wasn’t an official test for Bassani who was riding a road-turned-track Ducati Panigale V4 R Superbike. 

It was also th🌜e second time that Bassani had been on-track Alex after the Italian contested four Moto2 races in 2017, however, with the young Italian having spent much of his career in the Superbike 🍎paddock thus far, it was the first time sharing the same tarmac as eight-time world champion Marc.  

Bassani, who remains with Moto𝄹rcorsa Ducati for the 2022 season was a one-time podium finisher during his WorldSBK debut season. 

His podium came at Catalunya when he led most of a wet race one and ♍looked on course to win before Scott Redding produced a late overtake to clinch the win.
