Ducati, Marc Marquez stalls on renewal and talks about injuries: "They drain me"

Ducati centaur Marc Marquez took stock after the first days of testing in Thailand. The Catalan rider updated on his physical condition: he is still not 100 percent after last season&#8217s injury. “I feel I made a small step between the test in Malaysia and Buriram. We will see if my physical condition continues to improve”

At the moment, the signing for the renewal is not yet here: “We are working on this together with Ducati. Of course, they would like me to sign two years. But for me, the priority was to start the pre-season and feel better and better. Today I felt a little progress in my shoulder. If I feel another improvement tomorrow, then it will not be a problem to sign a two-year contract”

“When you are injured, you cannot make a decision and you cannot sign a contract. I have the feeling that I am making progress, there’s still a lot to do, but we are on the right track with Ducati”;

The number 93 centaur feels the weight of the many injuries accumulated over the course of his career: “Mentally I still feel young, but the many injuries drain me more and more. It takes longer to recover. For this reason, this winter has also been very long. But we are working on it and after the Thai GP we still have two weeks to recover”.

The new Ducati still needs to be fine-tuned: the Spanish rider fell three times. “The falls of these two days are more the result of lack of concentration; I was not lucid, I will try to recover in these days. However, I am happy with how it is going, we are close the leading group, with Bagnaia, Bezzecchi and Alex Marquez“.
