Marc Marquez's move from Honda to the Gresini Ducati team has been the biggest story in MotoGP since it was first mooted last September.
The Qatar Grand Prix saw the eight-time grand prix world champion make his long-awaited race debut on the 2023-spec Ducati. And it went about as well as he could have hoped four.
Qualifying sixth, Marquez finished fifth in the sprint and fought for the podium in the grand prix before ultimately finishing fourth.
He has cautioned that he cannot get ahead of himself after a strong Ducati debut, but all signs suggest the Spaniard will be a big threat in 2024.
