168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez has explained why he wanted to test a new brake on the Ducati GP23 at the MotoGP Jerez test.

He tried a thumb brake 🅠on the left handlebar on Monda🐎y.

“For 12 years I've been used to braking in one way, it's difficult to adapt in🎐 just one day𝓡,” Marquez told .

“I've tried 🐷different things. We won't use the thumb brake at L🔜e Mans.

“I prefer to move forward with my [foot brake] beca💃use 🐻I have the right sensitivity.

“I have wanted to test [the thumb brake] anyway because both Martin and Pecco use it💫.”

Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi descr🃏ibed the key item that Gresini’s star rider tested: “Marc has never used the rear thumb brake.

“While we believe that it is important for riding the Ducati,꧟ especially in the acceleration phase 𒐪for controlling the bike.

“We have provided Marc with enough data to be able to understand why and how🦹 to use the mo🐽torbike better during acceleration.”

M൩arquez emerged from the Jerez test on Monday claiming that he is now able to be more precise with his feedb🌊ack to Ducati engineers.

After first riding a version of the Desmosedici at November’🔴s postseason Valencia test, Marquez has now featured twice at preseason test♋s and raced at four rounds.

Jerez on Monday was the first in-sea🍰son test day that the Gresini rider has partaken in this year.

Th🍷e day after his epic scrap with Francesco Bagnaia, which he lost, it could prove to be a pivotal day in Marquez’s season.

The ability to test items that are routinely used by Bagnaia and Jorge Martin, the GP24 riders and the top two in the current MotoGP standings, is an obvious just🌜ification 🧸for his switch to Ducati.

Marquez is awaiting 🦄his first win since quitting Ho🥃nda but is buoyed by regularly fighting at the front in the first four rounds of 2024.

At Le Mans in two weeks he will race with the foot brake as usual, rather than the thumb brake that he tested in Jerez, but also with the knowledge gathered on his ✃new machine from a full day of testing.
