RiderTua.com – Jorge Lorenzo analyzed the situation of Marc Marquez, who is now joining the Gresini – Ducati team, in detail, and said there were three big doubts about the Cervera rider.. Less than a week before the start of the 2024 MotoGP championship in Qatar, many MotoGP observers have emerged.. One of them is three-time MotoGP champion Jorge Lorenzo who has expressed his opinion about the rider who is the main highlight of the 2024 season. Although for everyone else, Francesco Bagnaia is still the rider to beat, having completed tests in Malaysia and Qatar with record times. However, with so many fast riders on Ducati, it can provide big challenges and surprises. Moreover, with Marc Marquez driving the Desmosedici GP23 we will be able to see some interesting things this season…
Jorge Lorenzo’s three doubts about Marc Marquez
Seeing Marc Marquez on the bike used by Pecco and Martin to fight for the 2023 MotoGP title sparked the fans’ expectations. The 31-year-old rider finished sixth and fourth fastest in recent pre-season testing, but the world title is a goal he has completely put aside for now after poor results with Honda from 2020 onwards. Much will depend on the time he needs to adapt his riding style to the Ducati, until he understands how to tame the Italian bike. “(First) He rides like he’s riding a Honda (not yet adapted to a Ducati bike). Another (second) question is knowing how big the difference is between the Ducati GP23 and GP24, understanding how much Ducati has developed this bike from one year to the next. “If the difference is very big… this could be very important (Marc will be left behind by the Ducati riders who use the new GP24 bike),” said the former Mallorca rider.
Finally, Jorge Lorenzo asked another question: Marc’s physical condition, after experiencing many problems with his right arm. “Has he fully recovered? Or does he need more time to reach his peak? Will he be like before on a physical level? Only he and the people around him know that,” Lorenzo said of his third doubts.
For now all we can do is wait for the first series of the MotoGP World Championship which is scheduled for no less than a week in Losail – Qatar. And maybe this track will be able to answer everyone’s first question, will after signing Marquez with Gresini everything will bring Marquez back to the top in the future with any bike?
