Ducati may be setting records in MotoGP this season, but Marc Marquez admits he will still have doubts about his Gresini move ‘until I try the bike’.
Saturday’s Australian grand prix marked the sixth time this season that Ducati riders have filled all three places on the podium, headed by a debut win for Johann Zarco.
Despite such stats, eight-time world champion Marquez, who has just one Repsol Honda podium to his name so far this season , insisted he will have some doubts in his mind until he tries the Desmosedici for himself. “ are super fast. Martin is super fast. Bagnaia is super fast,” he said. “But right now I’m fully concentrated on my bike.”Marquez, who was the top Honda in 15th place at Phillip Island, swatted away suggestions that given the bike's current form, he should just 'cruise' during the final events of his RCV career.
“Qualifying, if I need to find a slipstream, I’ll find a slipstream. If in the race I need to take a risk and choose the soft option I will do.The soft tyre gamble had taken Marquez to the brink of victory at Phillip Island last season, but the increase in pace meant it wasn’t enough to overcome Honda’s lack of rear grip this time around.
