The cameras inside the Gresini Racing box during the MotoGP postseason Valencia test caught Marquez in conversation with his 🃏new crew chief Frankie Carchedi.

Marquez identified these points, report:

  • Excellent rear grip

One of the Honda’s weaker points might be a thing of the past for Marquez now. He appeared delighted with the re👍ar grip of his Desmosedici.

  • Less physically demanding than the Honda

Marquez noticed on the second chicane of the Valencia track that his Ducati was less physical than he has been used to. He can expect to benefit from its𓃲 changing of direction.

  • Pleased with its cornering ability

Marquez expected to face difficulty in the corners, based on watching other Ducati riders from afarജ. But, that difficulty did not exist when he rode it himself, he suggested.

  • He wants tweaks to improve feeling in the front end

Ma꧑rquez thinks the Ducati can improve when accelerating, pinpointing his feeling in the front end.

He was less than a tenth and a hal꧅f behind pacesetter Maverick Vinales.
