Ducati has a policy of great openness among the riders of its MotoGP teams in terms of sharing information, so everyone can access each other’s data. Álex Márquez, who joined Gresini last year, was able to experience this reality up close.
Quoted by Marca newspaper during a sponsor event, #73 admitted that this sharing of information has two sides: ‘Sharing the data is an advantage and a disadvantage at the same time. You can have a lot of information and references, but on the other hand, you can get confused. You can become obsessed with comparing others’.
In his case, Márquez preferred to follow fixed references, as he stated: ‘My experience is always following the same ones as a reference. Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martín are the ones I focused on the most last year. They have different riding styles, and it is necessary to understand what they do’.
