At the end of November, Marc Márquez had his first contact with the Ducati Desmosedici GP23. Enea Bastianini, a factory rider for the manufacturer, didn’t fail to pay attention to the work of the Gresini Spanish rider and even believes that next year’s season will be tough.
The Italian commented on #93’s performance: ‘I checked the data to see Marc’s style and it was very good from the beginning. He quickly became fast, because the Ducati is a good bike for this – for the first impact. I also saw his lap time attack, it was very good. Probably he is the fastest Ducati rider in turn 11. Otherwise, it’s normal‘.
Bastianini also admitted that he expects a challenging 2024 season: ‘I’m curious to see how next season will be, because if this season was complicated, the next one will be even more complicated for everyone‘.
