A 2024 “pre-season” to arrive as adapted as possible for the next season. These are the words of the old pilot Carlos Checa on the plan you execute Marc Marquez before becoming a partner Pecco Bagnaia on the official Ducati.
Checa says in ‘Motosan’ that Cervera’s is prepared perfectly: “I think Marc is doing what he had to do, This is his best pre-season for next yearand then, well, I tell you, it doesn’t depend on him now, at this moment, to be able to win the championship.”
“I saw it very well, made very good progress. It is clear that he has a very different motorcycle. Not just the bike, because we also talked about the fact that he changed teams. He has worked with a group of people all his life and now he completely changes people, which is even more complicated for him. Not just the motorcycle. And that, well, there is a time of adaptation,” he emphasizes.
In Indonesia he was unable to finish due to a problem with his Gresini. But this is due to several brilliant results. Especially with this double victory in Aragon and Misano. He proved to himself that he is ready to fight for anything if he has the best bike.
“Obviously, he will serve, he will do his pre-season, he will also change people, teams, I have the feeling. And from there, he will have his time of adaptation, but I I think he will give his best, from the first race, and I don’t know, with the intention of winning. What I tell you clearly is that he is not there to be second, he will do everything possible, and he will go for victory, that he can obtain it, it is probable, it’s very likely, but under no circumstances will he agree to be second”, concludes Checa.
