He is coming off a season where he set the unwanted record for his most-ever amount of crashes (29) but, by losing control of his Ducati for the first time, it may be an indicator that he is edging closer to its limit.
“It’s true [Tuesday] was the first day that I have increased that intensity on the bike,” Marquez told DAZN.“It was the first day that I said ‘if I fall, I fall…’
Doing the long run, where I was challenging myself to improve points.
“Because there are some corners where I lose, especially with respect to Pecco Bagnaia, Enea Bastianini and Jorge Martin, who are the ones I have reference in the same factory.
“We will see what happens in the grand prix.
“But we are still a little far from these three or four riders who are making the difference.”
Martin step onto the developed GP24 this year, while Gresini and VR46 riders are left with the GP23.
“With what I have, I’m going to give my best,” Marquez said.
“I’m having fun, which is important. I’m enjoying myself.
“Whether I’m in front or not, we’ll see.
“Logically, if you’re in front, you’ll have a better time, but it’s true that at the moment Pecco , Bastianini and Martin have a little more than the rest.
