168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has delivered an update on his troublesome arm whic♊h previously threatened to retire him.

Marquez’s move from Repsol Honda to Gresini Ducati this year has sparked new optimism in the six-time MotoGP champion.

But the lingering physical issue in hi✃s arm - from a fracture suffered in Jerez four years ago - are a lingering reminder of his limitations.

"As I have always said, and I am not lying, it is an arm wi🌸th four operations that requires more maintenance than the other,” he told .

“And so you have to take good care of it.

You have to pamper it, but well.

"I have been able to have a normal preseason. I ꦍhave tested well at𓃲 home."

Marquez was forced 🥃to consider retirement as he went through the fourth arm op🐓eration in 2022.

Although he recovered to resume his esteemed career, a 2023 blighted by a record-high quantity of crashes on his Honda did little to inඣspire confidence.

Switching to Ducati - last year’s dominant bike - should help to curtail the physical blows he has become accustomed to ♐t🐷aking.

💞Marquez was unhurt from his first crash on a Ducati, in the final hour of preseason testing in Qatar when he was seeking the limit of his new mach♋ine.

He explained: "I was doing the long run, I did fall on lap 12, I think, but I had plan🐟ned to do 20.

"When you p🌜lan it like this, you feel good physically.

"Being realistic, at the moment we are ๊fighting fifth, sixt꧟h.

"It's very relative because then you get here to the grand♍ prix and the tyre changes on the track, everything changes.

“But at the moment if it had been ﷺa race, we are - I think we need to see the exact pape🧸rs - fourth, fifth, sixth, in the best of scenarios."

His fellow Ducati rivals remain the 𓄧riders to beat when racing begins on March 8 in Qatar.

"There a♔re still three, four riders who luckily are riding in the same factory with,"🐼 Marquez said.

"I can learn from them and I must learn f⛎rom them how to get the most out of it.

"There are stil🌼l a few things missing. The important thing is the evaluation of the preseason is good.

“Because we have had a solid preseason, without getting nervous, respecting the times that 𝕴were needed to get t🌌o know the bike.”

Last season’s title rivals Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin - who have left the GP23 to Marquez and stepped onto the developed GP24 - are expected to resume tꦛheir place at the front.
