MotoGP | Marc Marquez on the Ducati: “Love at first sight? I actually don't believe this."

MotoGP Ducati Gresini – Marc Marquez is from today to all intents and purposes a Ducati Gresini rider and was able to talk about his debut in Valencia.

The first impressions of the eight-time world champion were positive, even if the #93 wants to wait for the Sepang tests and then those in Qatar to understand if with the two-wheeled "Red" he will be able to fight for victories and consequently for the title.

The ingredients are all there and despite not having the latest evolution of the Desmosedici GP, many both in the paddock and outside consider it as a contender for the title. Here's what he said to Sky Sport's microphones.

“I'm happy with the first test with Gresini. I was nervous on the first ride, they come from eleven years of working with the same group of people, with the same bike. It was a very big change, but the first outing served to relax me. I saw that everything was fine. It's true that we still have to work a lot, feel the position of the bike better and change it a little more. Of course, I still have to understand many things with the team, just as they have to understand my way of working, but this is just a question of time. But it's a normal step to take."

“Throughout all of this, every person on Team Gresini helped me a lot to relax. I didn't feel pressure and that was the best thing. What if it's love at first sight? In reality I don't believe this, because sometimes it doesn't go well. Then I prefer a deeper love. And to understand if a love is deep we have to understand how it will go on circuits like Malaysia, Qatar and then we'll see. We have what we have, we give one hundred percent and I am sure that a team like Gresini will help me."
