Marquez hasn’t raced in Argentina since 2019, but on that occasion he won by almost 10 seconds having been over⛦ 12s clear by the time he started the final lap and eased off his pace.

While acknowledging that the nature of the Rio Hondo track has suited him in th✱e past, Marquez wants to temper expectations ahead of Friday practice.

“We will understand during the weekend,” he said o🐲n Thursday in the pre-event press co𝓀nference.

“Of course, we🤪 started in the best way possible in Thailand with the double victor🅠y.

“It was super important. Then I was at home; people talk a lot, but just we have the feet on the ground an♏d try to work in the same way as Thailand.

“𝄹I know here in Argentina, most of the years, I ride in a good way but also I did some mistakes.

“So, let’s see if we can start in a good way in FP1 bec🐲ause like this the weekend wi🦂ll be easier.

“One of the main characteristics of this GP is during the GP the track chang♑es, the grip of the track, and then you need to adapt🐠 your riding style a bit, adapt your set-up and try to understand where the limit is.

“Ducati, the bike balance is amazing. I like it, it’s working in every condition; it works in slippery coꦍnditions, it works when the grip is super good.

“But especially for my riding style, when 💫I have this kind of 💧low grip I prefer because I feel more comfortable.”

Marquez leads his younger brother Alex inꦉ the championship by eight points ahead of this weekend’s Arge𒅌ntina GP.

With Argentina and the following round in America at COTA typically strong venues for Marc Marquez, this phase of the season is being looked at as one in which he can build a strong early lead in the point🅺s.

But asked how it feels to be the championship leader agꦗain, he replied🌠: “Feels good.

“I feel relaxed, comfo🐟rtable, I feel well with the team, which is also super important.

“The communication is flowing in a good way. I feel rel𒁏axed, I feel good. But still 21 races to go, so we need to keep going.”
