Marc Marquez: “I try to avoid” contact with Gresini Ducati

There are only two more rounds, starting this weekend in Qatar, until Marquez tests 🐼a Ducati in Valencia, at the end of this mo♎nth, ahead of moving to Gresini in 2024.
But until thꦅen, he won’t ask Alex Marquez - his brother and future teammate - for a detailed breakdown of his next bike and he won’t communicate with the Gresini s🍨taff.
“No, no, no, in fact I have not talked about the Ducati in depth because it woulꦍd be disrespectful,” he told .
“I'm still working for Honda and giving 100 percent and if there🍨's something to try, I'll do it.
“I try to give the most accurate feedback, I might even have contact with my team next yea🔜r and I try to avoid that.
“Because? Well, because there are three races ahead in which my goal is to finish in the best possible way and be as professional as possible. “Then there will beꦅ time to talk with my brother, with Ducati, with Gresini, with the new coach, to prepare💧 for the 2024 season.”
Marquez knows that the entire MotoGP world will be gripped by the sight of him testing the best bike on th꧂e current grid after the season-finale in💮 Valencia.
Bu𒈔t he refused to be drꦿawn into making a bold prediction about how he will fare.
“First I need to test the bike, then I need to do the whole pre-season and📖 when the pre-season is over I wil🤡l see exactly where we are,” he insisted.
“It's a bit like when last year I went with the sam❀e speech and being in the same team, because during the preseason you see things, you see if a brand comes out, if another co🔯mes out, if a rider comes out or if another comes out…
“🧜At the moment it would be a mistake to enter into a clear objective.
“The main objective is to have fun on the bike again and that means be💦ing competitive.”
