Six-time MotoGP champion Marquez, 29, underwent a fourth, and most serious, surgery on hi🅷s troublesome arm which forced him to miss a chunk of 2022, with test rider Bradl temporarily replacing him.

But he roared back into form with a pole position and a podium finish although hꦰis optimism was immediately dampened when he criticised his Repsol Honda 2023 prototype at the postseason Valencia test.

“Back then, Marc may not have cared so𓃲 much about the falls,” Bradl told a🔯bout his teammate’s heyday. 

“The crashes have always b𒀰een part of his approach.

“He has often said that he has to feel the limit and know when the bike slips away. As long as nothing happened, the falls didn't bother him so m༺uch. 

“As long as the results on Sunday were right, Marc suppressed a lot. It was always fascinating to observe h෴ow he was able to cope with ༺the falls all the time.

“But he's not getting any younger.”

Bradl criticised Honda’s role in forcing Marquez to take too many gambles: “𒁏A number of points have come together. Marc has therefore had t🔯o take an increased risk in recent years.

“Because then there was a need to catchಌ up with the aerodynamic aids. And Ducati showed courage because they constantly brought changes to the devices and aerodynamics.

“As a result, Yamaha has also fallen behind a bit. Honda has never been ♓at the forefront of such experiments as Ducati has done in recent years.

“This is now falling on the feet of the Japanese. I n🐼otice that Honda lacks a bit of courage to experiment.”

Marquez’s brother 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez has left Honda to join Ducati, a notable switch because the balance of power in MotoGP has shifted to the Italian team, who crowned168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Francesco Bagnaia as their first premier class champion since 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Casey Stoner in 2007.

Marc Marquez faces an uphill battle in 2023 - f🍸ighting against his own physica𓆏l limits, but also riding a below-par Honda bike amid a sea of Ducati rivals.

“He knows he still has two or three good years ahead of him,” Bradl said. “He wants a ಌwinning bike, as he has stressed several times, even before his break from racing at the Mugello GP.

“Marc didn't seeಌ the big steps he envisioned at the Valencia test in November.

“Sure, he had four operations on his upper arm. In my🀅 opinion, he is aware of his state of health. That is why he is now c💧alling for clear measures at HRC.

“It has ☂to be said that Ducati has made great strides in the last two or three yea♚rs. You can see that each of the eight Desmosedici riders is fast.

“The Moto🌄GP ꦺworld championship has changed. Marc can't play to his strengths on the current bike as he used to. He always has to take too much risk.

“He realises that he is never able to keep the risk so high in tℱhe𝕴 long term. He has to take a step back and rely more on the bike.

“But since all Honda riders crashed x times and the results in 2022 were extremely weꦐak, which can be seen on the result lists, he calls for a more competitive bike.

“Marc is no﷽t the only H🥃onda rider who criticises. Everyone else has done the same, from Alex Marquez to Nakagami to Pol.

“Marc is in the strongest position due to his succe♏sses. That is why he is now calling loud and clear for improvements.

“The balance of power has also chang🐼ed in the last two or three years. The competition has become much stronger.”
