: “I will go to Nicolo and give him the helmet I used in the race.“I want to ask him whether or not there was contact, since I didn't perceive iꦑt.
“I only heard the sound of t🍌he ꦍmotorbike scraping on the ground.
“I dꦆon't know if he braked more aggressively than usual to close the line.
“But 😼in any case races are races, and we also had confirmation at the start, where there was no shortage🐽 of chaos.
“Nicolo was ⛄having a good💃 race and I hope he is physically fit.”

“I have no problem recognizﷺing that Pecco is now the reference for MotoGP and Ducati,” Marquez said.
“He is a great rider🌼 from whom I will try to learn, to♌ get as close to him as possible.
“What if I would have tried the same overtaking on Bagnaia? Of course, it seemed like a natural 🥂manoeജuvre to me and therefore nothing crazy.
“This was a day of celebration and I'm sor🧔ry that Nicolo crashed: when you put riders on the track the adrenaline is hi꧂gh, and the race is real."
All 15 riders - from MotoGP, World Superbikes, and British Superbikes - rode the brand-new꧃ Ducati Panigale V4 in Saturday’s Lenovo Race of Champions.
“It was great to fe🌼el 🎐all the warmth of the Ducati people,” Marquez said.
“The spirit of the company is to give 🌞your best and always push the bike, and that's how you have fun.
“This𝐆 weekend I also used the Pirellis for the first time: at t🌞he start of the race I was a bit slow because I didn't know the bike or even the tyres; while towards the end my confidence grew and I was fast.
“It's incredible how simila🌳r this road bike has pꩵerformance to a MotoGP."
