Everything seems to be in the ideal position for Marc Márquez to face his first MotoGP season riding a Ducati. The rider will represent Gresini after a decade with Repsol Honda.
This Monday, the six-time world champion of the premier class assured the press that he is in good physical condition, once all the injuries that affected him in recent years have been resolved: ‘I think that physically I am better than last year, because it is the first time I had a normal winter. Well, I had surgery for compartment syndrome, but it wasn’t a big problem – the rehabilitation was very short. I was able to work in a good way‘.
However, Márquez believes that the definitive proof of his physical condition will be the tests in Sepang, and he is aware that they will be tough: ‘Here we will understand better how I am. Here you can be very fit on the first day, but you will be dying on the second day, because of the pain in your body. But it’s normal in the pre-season‘.
