Marquez Brings Ducati Upgrades to Le Mans as Consistency Woes Persist

Rain at Le Mans could complicate Ducati’s bid to judge the fixes.

Overview

  • Marc Márquez said Ducati has brought parts from the Jerez test and that some may appear on his bike at the French Grand Prix.
  • He said speed is not the issue but consistency is, pointing to front-end feel and pace loss in left-hand and fast corners.
  • The reigning champion sits fifth in the standings, 44 points behind Marco Bezzecchi, with two sprint wins but no Sunday podiums.
  • Francesco Bagnaia reported a step from new aerodynamics and ongoing electronics work aimed at improving cornering and braking.
  • Forecast rain at Le Mans could force wet setups and make it harder to tell if the new parts deliver gains in race conditions.
