THE SECRET THAT MARC MÁRQUEZ APPLIES TO WIN

The particular style that makes Marc Márquez inimitable
Gigi Dall'Igna assures that with the front end he does things that until now nobody had done with the Ducati, and the two-time champion Bagnaia tries to copy his strong braking in left-hand corners. Since Marc Márquez first got on the Ducati GP23 last November at the Cheste test, he has done nothing but surprise the troop of young Ducati riders. The day before, he parked the Honda RC213V in the Repsol Honda box for the last time and blindly got on the Ducati that had belonged to Johann Zarco, placed in his new Gresini Racing box. And Enea Bastianini was the most effusive in praise: "I was curious to see his data and it's incredible. His way of riding is very good. Let's see how the year goes, but it will surely be complicated for everyone because he will be fast. In turn 8, he is impressive, he is already ahead of all of us," he explained. It is a left-hand turn at the end of the Valencia circuit.
And since February, when he took possession of his Ducati GP23, the plan has been to unlearn the automatisms of the Honda to memorize those of the Ducati - several of his crashes have come from getting tangled with the rear holeshot - and shorten the adaptation period. He considered it concluded from Austin onwards and since then, free will. It's true that driving the Ducati like those who have spent their entire MotoGP career with it would be the perfect world, but it's beginning to become clear that he drives it like Marc Márquez.
Gigi Dall'Igna assures that with the front end he does things that until now nobody had done with the Ducati, and his brother and teammate Álex Márquez confirms that "he has a particular style in braking. But that strong point he had with the Honda, which seemed impossible with the Ducati, I don't know how the hell he did it, but he already has it. I thought that with the Ducati entering so forcefully, so quickly in the corner couldn't be done because it's a bike that transmits less than the Honda, and he's achieving it."
On Sunday, in the DAZN post-race show when they connected the two former Repsol Honda teammates, now commentator Jorge Lorenzo with the second-place finisher in Le Mans, Marc Márquez, some keys to what makes Marc Márquez inimitable were revealed: "That overtake of yours in turn 9 was spectacular. How did you manage to enter the chicane so fast? Tell us your secret," the Mallorcan asked him.
And this was the explanation from number 93: "Falling many times (laughs). I have fallen in that chicane six or seven times in my sporting career. But yes, it's a left-hand corner where I feel very good. In fact, I was waiting for Pecco's attack. Because in Jerez, he was very aggressive and combative; and I thought he would do the same with Martín, because he had very good acceleration. And when I saw he wasn't attacking, I said, 'well, then I'll attack.'
"I waited for that corner because I felt strong in braking. As a rider, and using a bit of experience, if I failed, I had the margin of the escape route or braking more in the right-hand corner. But it turned out well."
And Lorenzo remembered how in that year they shared the Repsol Honda box in 2019, at that point, he was, according to the data, 15 km/h faster. "No matter how much you explain it, they won't be able to imitate you because that's instinct and naturalness," Jorge praised him.
The theory seems 'easy': "The rear brake has to be nailed, like dirt track." Practice is not because, paraphrasing Lorenzo, "it's pure instinct Marc Márquez."
And the one who is already trying to get down to work is the two-time world champion Pecco Bagnaia, as he assured in Le Mans: "That feeling in left-hand corners with the brake didn't come out for me. I was fast in turn 7, but in turn 9, I couldn't brake so hard. We are going to improve that for the next races, which are at circuits that I like very much."
