New footage has captured a behind-the-scenes catch-up between 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia at the Sepang test.

Bagnaia was enquiring about how Marquez fared on the Ducati, a b🧸ike which he is still getting to grips with.

Marquez’s sh♏owing at the preseason test in Sepang was low-profile although it did show signs of optimism.

Bagnaia ꦏa▨sked him face-to-face: “What’s the bike like? Tough, huh?”

Marquez: “Yes. Different…”

Bagnaia: “I was behind you and 🍬I saw that you were riding it like the Honda.”

Marquez: “Yeah, I have to understand [how to ride it]. In this case, [the t♕yre] had 22 laps.”

Bagnaia: “You could see it.”

Marquez: “But I have to un꧙derstand how to do the time attacks.

“Because with the Honda🌱 you go into a corner and it starts to accelerate straight away.

“But, with this, it’s different.”

Bagnaia: “Because this bike doesn’t turn.”

Marquez: “Yes, the time attack is what I still 🧸have to understand.

“The race pace is easier.”

Bagnaia: “Yes, because in the end,🌠 the bike is stationary, it’s stable.”

Marquez: “It’ಞs stable, it just goes and goes and goes…”

Bagnaia: “Maybe it’♉s a little heavy. But it’s stable.”

Marquez: “It doesn't feel heavier.”

Bagnaia: “When I was watching the Honda it looked like it was faster in the changes of🐻 direction.”

Marquez: “When they put the big aerodynཧamics, no.”

Bagnaia: “The latest one?”

Marquez: “Yes.”

Marquez, a🍷fter leaving Repsol Honda and moving to Gresini Racing, will ride a GP23 Ducati✃ this year.
