The eight Ducatis on the 2024 MotoGP grid wi🏅ll be double t🌠he quantity of the Aprilias, KTMs and Hondas.

Although Ducati must face the brunt of new concessions rules this year, their policy to share data among eight riders (which will now include 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez) can lead to an edge in performance.

“Sharing data is an advantage and disadvantage at the same time,” Alex Marq🗹uez said to . 

“You can have a lot of info▨rmation and references, but you🌺 can get confused. 

“You become obsessed with comparing one person to 𝔍another. 

“My experience is to always use the same two as references. Peccꦫo Bagnaia and Jorge Martin are the ones I paid most attention to last year. 

“They are 💜different riding styles and you have to understand it.”

With Gresini, the Marquez brothers will be equipped with year-old Ducatis (so the same bike which Bagnaia and Martin battled over the title with lastꦑ season).

They first jumped on a ‘23 Desmosedici at the postseas꧃on Valencia test, while the factory🐎 and Pramac riders tried the latest-spec bike.

“The character of the engine is different, above all,” was Ale💯x🧜 Marquez’s feedback.

“I noticed a little more power, and also the aerodynamics, which made the bike a little more agile, especially with the wind that it had i🐻n the test. 

“But it wasn't that big a step either. 

“We already saw it during the season that several bikes from 2022 won races, so let's 🎃hope that🀅 there is not a big jump in 2024 either so that we can continue fighting for races.”

Al🔜e🍒x outlined his season target: “Win ​​races? Why not? 

“ꦇWinning races or being o꧋n the podium is the goal. 

“Last yearಞ there were better or worse🅰 moments, but we always pushed. 

“And this year if we con⛎tinue working and being consistent we can achieve it. 

“In Malaysia it narrowly escaped, because Bastianini was very fast that weekend, but in a second year with the same bike it will be easier👍.”

He will share the box with brother Marc for the first time since the💖 opening months of 2020, a period cut short by the eight-time world champion’s injury.

“Removing wha✃t happened in 2020, it is a second chance, but above all arriving in a very different situation,” Alex said. 

“At that time I was a rookie and Marc was fꦗighting for the championship, so we were in very different situations. 

“This year I can take more advantage of having a rider like🔯 Marc, who is fast and I already have experience in the c𒆙ategory. 

“Unity is strength and my experience in both Moto3 and Moto2 is that when I have had a strong partner I have had m🎃y best years. 

“When a team has two strong riders sharing information, without going overboard because you can get mixed up, it can help.&nb🥀sp;

“So, in my case, and for the🔜 team, having a rider like Marc can be very beneficial.

“It's my secon🌸d year on this tea🐭m and we have to continue the evolution. 

“Get off to a go𓄧od start, which makes it more enjoyable. 

“I am looking forward to preseason and teꩲsting in Malaysia. We finished the year very well and we have to start it well, but there are no expectations now. It is too early. L⛦ow profile. To improve consistency and to be more solid…”
