Ducati, how is Marquez?
In these three weeks of MotoGP break, one of the main topics of discussion has obviously been Marc Marquez’s recovery from the injury he sustained last year in Mandalika.
The Spanish champion himself confessed his difficulties, explaining on the sidelines of the disappointing Austin weekend that he did not feel the necessary strength in his right arm to be explosive in the early stages of the race. With the rest of these days, there is curiosity to understand how Marquez will present himself in Jerez and if he will be able to get the most out of his physique and his Ducati, at an important moment of the season, with an Aprilia that has won three out of three races.

Domenicali reassures about Marquez
Interviewed by Sky Italia, Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali spoke about the situation of his riders, answering a specific question about Marquez: “They are all training and so I think we will see them in shape in Jerez. They are all in shape. How in shape they will be, we will see on Saturday afternoon. Aprilia? They are achieving extraordinary results, we congratulate them”.
To Corriere di Romagna, Domenicali confirmed words of total esteem for his champion: “I think Marquez can still give a lot to Ducati. Unfortunately, he had a bad accident at the end of last year and was out all winter, and this limited the number of tests he could do. During the winter tests, not everything went as it should have, and this also somewhat affected the start of the season. He is not yet at his full 100%, but he is a rider with extraordinary grit and incredible talent, so he can still give a lot to Ducati”.
