MADRID 12 Feb. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Spanish pilot Álex Márquez (Ducati) continues to show his strength in this preseason of the MotoGP category of the Motorcycling World Cup and led a first day of test on Wednesday in the Thai circuit of Buriram hopeful for KTM, Honda and April.
The Cervera again made clear the strength of the ‘Desmmosedici’ last year and after having been the fastest in the three days of last week in Seca (Malaysia), he led again a very varied and very varied time table in which his brother Marc Márquez (Ducati) was the one who on this occasion ended in front of his partner Francesco Bagnaia.
But it was the little one of the Márquez who monopolized the looks on a first hot contact day in the Thai layout, which in two weeks will open the 2025 season of the World Cup. Only four pilots were able to get off the barrier of 1:29, headed by the double world champion who was the fastest with 1: 29,649 and opened a good gap with the rest.
The ilerdense surpassed the KTM of his compatriot Pedro Acosta in more than two tenths. The Austrian brand had the good news of confirming the improvement that seemed to have glimpsed on the last day in Sepang and slipped between the two Márquez brothers since Marc ended as the third of the day, just seven thousandths of the Murcian and half a second best better that Bagnaia, who ended seventh.
The fourth and last pilot to get out of 1:29 was the Italian Luca Marini (1: 29,928), who gave good news to the official sling, while Aprilia, after a complicated test last week, finally appeared his head between The first places with the Italian Marco Bezzecchi, which was the first of those who were in the barrier of 1:30.
On the other hand, after a very positive week in Sepang, Yamaha could not be this time among the best times and the Frenchman Fabio Quartarar positioned the first ‘M1’ in the table with the eleventh best record, a second by Álex Márquez. This Thursday will take place the second and last day of Test in Buriram and the preseason before the start of the championship on February 28.
