The three ‘question marks’ that Jorge Lorenzo has about Marc Márquez
In the year he joins Gresini and a Ducati bike, Marc Márquez is already seen by many as one of the potential candidates for the MotoGP title.
However, Jorge Lorenzo is more cautious in his analysis.
The three-time world champion of the premier class told the championship’s official website: ‘After the first day in Valencia, his debut on the Ducati, that was so impressive, everyone was thinking Marc would win almost all the races. But I don’t think it’s going to be like this – like we saw in Sepang, he had some difficulties. And I have some question marks about Marc this year’.
Firstly, the rider from Palma de Mallorca spoke about technical aspects – Márquez’s adaptation to the Desmosedici GP23, as well as how much the bike has evolved this year, the GP24:
– The first one is how much time we will need to fully understand the Ducati, that looks like he still didn’t understood completely the way to ride the bike – he’s still riding like he was riding the Honda.
And the second question mark should be, how big will be the difference between Ducati 2023 and Ducati 2024 – how much Ducati evolved their bike in just one year, because the difference is quite big. Jorge Martín and Pecco Bagnaia are two of the best riders, they are very explosive and fast.
