Marquez says Ducati MotoGP bike adaptation “is finished”

Marc Marquez says that his adaptation to the Ducati MotoGP bike has now “finished” and he can now “work on the small details”.

The eight-time grand prix world champion was third fastest overall on Friday at the Spanish Grand Prix having also finished second in the morning session.

Marquez has been consistently quick in 2024, though consistency has eluded him, with the Gresini rider yet to add to his sprint podiums in the main Sunday races.

Speaking after Friday’s practice at Jerez, Marquez believes he is now beyond the adaptation phase of his transition to the Ducati and feels “inside the bike”.

“The good thing is that we can stop talking about adaptation,” he said.

“The adaptation is already finished. So, now it’s time to work on the small details.

“My adaptation to the bike, I feel like I’m already inside the bike.

“As I showed today in FP1, I go out and immediately boom [I was fastest].
