opens up about his transition to Gresini Ducati, highlighting the differences in working dynamics compared to his previous team, Repsol Honda.
Moving from a powerhouse like Repsol Honda to a smaller team like Gresini Ducati involves not only adjusting to a new bike but also to a different team structure and working culture.
Marc Marquez reflects on the contrast between factory teams and non-factory teams, emphasizing the shift in focus from bike development to personal riding style and adaptation.
He acknowledges that the flow of information with his new team is not the same as with Honda, where he spent 12 years, expressing gratitude and respect for the experience gained there.
Transitioning from the Japanese culture at Honda to the Italian culture at Gresini Ducati presents unique challenges in terms of work methodology and approach to testing and feedback.
Despite facing technical issues during the preseason test in Sepang, Marquez remains optimistic about his adaptation process and aims to continue improving ahead of the upcoming season opener in Qatar.
While some, such as Pramac Ducati’s Jorge Martin, believe Marquez will immediately contend for victory in Qatar, Marquez focuses on maximizing the final test session before the race to further refine his setup and performance.
