One of the new parts of the Ducati Desmosedici that was given to Marc Marquez at the 2024 Jerez MotoGP event in a straightforward and open manner was the Thumb Brake. Marc Marquez during his time with Honda didn’t like the rear braking lever which was operated using the left thumb. However, Ducati insists that this braking device will increase Marc Marquez’s performance because the Desmosedici needs it. Marc Marquez followed this advice and succeeded, even though he also clearly said he would not use thumb brakes at Le Mans. Post Jerez Marc also opened up again that he also received several devices and tools to try, but Marc did not openly specify what parts they were. .
but what is certain is that Marc once said that Ducati wanted to know feedback from himself regarding the use of these parts and compare it with the feedback of other racers, especially the 4 Ducati racers who use the Motorcycle Manufacturer. And according to Marc Marquez, in general the feedback and responses he gave regarding these parts were the same as those given by other Ducati racers.
This statement clearly makes the whole world curious. . What part has Ducati actually given Marc Marquez to try and maybe even use during a MotoGP Jerez where can Marc finish P2 in Sunday’s race?
One of the speculations is Ducati’s latest Ride Height Devices. This device includes parts whose number of homologations are not regulated in the regulations, so Marc Marquez is very likely to replace the old RHD with this factory RHD. . . Why is tmcblog thinking about RHD?
The answer is from the post-race conversation at Box Gresini racing in Spanish between Marc Marquez and his crew chief, Frankie Carchedi, who is actually English. . Check it out
Mark: ” The motorbike is great”
Carchedi : ” When you pass Bezzecchi, after that you improve, improve and improve. “
Marc: “I Brake Strongly, and It Gets Stronger”
Carchedi : ” You get a Part of
Motorcycle Manufacturer in Werpakmu (pointing to the black part of the former Pecco tire). He hit you from behind, right? “
Marc: “[Yes] From behind, but I restrained myself a little there, otherwise I might have crashed”
Charchedi: “You experienced a lot of improvement, in Sector 2.” . . “
Marc: ” [Yes] I experienced an increase, the device (The Devices). . . Much Better with the Devices (Ride Height Devices). Anti wheelie system. . “
Crachedy: ” The motorbike is more stable and you have more speed.”
Marc: “Peco and Martin are faster, but compared to Bezzecchi his speed is great. (Pecco and Martin ) have advantages. “
Obviously Marc Marquez said “The Devices” and it has something to do with anti-wheelie. . These two words are enough to make a temporary conclusion that Ducati has provided Marc Marquez with new Ride Height Devices at Jerez which he will probably also use at Le Mans next weekend.
