168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez’s feedback after his first day of testing in Sepang shed light 𝄹on the challenges faced by Gresini𒈔 Ducati.

The younger Marquez brother’s Tuesday was highlighted by a fall at Turn 2 then a seventh-🎶placed finish, +0.591s behind leader Jorge Martin.

But his words about the development of his ‘23 Ducati - which he will begin using this season - show there is still work to be done. He rode the standard GP23 on Tuesday, without💧 the upgrades enjoyed by Francesco Bagnaia or Jorge Martin last season.

“Honestly speaking,🏅 worse than ‘22 in this moment,” Alex said.

“We need to adapt better.

“In the last run of the day we found something.

“I was able 🦩to make [1:𒈔58.5] with used tyres. It’s not a bad time.

“We need to see if this is the way to follow or if we⛦ need 🌳to change more.

“☂🔜Here, with the ‘22 bike on the GP, I had a better feeling.

“Especially🥂 in the turning area I was struggling a lot today.”

Asked where he struggled, Alex said: “A little bit of everything. I didn’t do a time attack because I had 12 kilos ꧑🎃in a full tank.

“I was with a set-up which I di🎐dn’t like. I had a lot of problems, big movements.

“Later on, ♈when we tried the last run, it was much𒆙 better.

“We didn’t have a lot of margin to improve.

“For the first day,🐟 the feeling was not bad. I was riding, approaching the braking po𒅌int in the correct [way[. We need to be happy for that.

“And find the solution for tomor﷽row, see whಌat we can try.”

He did, at least, have a bet🃏ter day than Gresini’s oth🌼er superstar rider.

Marc Marqu﷽ez, his brother and his new teammate, had to clarify afterwards that he first crash of a Ducati was a “misunderstanding” because he did not actually fall.

𝐆But Marc was blighted with t🔴echnical issues on Tuesday.

Alex accepted his o💜wn day was better: “Yesও. I am more lucky with the technical problems.

“I did a normal day. I did a small crash on the first corner - something strange, I touched the inside corner. The poღwer delivery was not c𓂃lean.

“It waꦍs strange. Apart from that stupid crash, everything was working well.♏”

The Marquez brothers will hope the technical issues faced on Tuesday will be sol🧜ved by the second day ෴of the Sepang test.
