The fact that Marc Marquez (Gresini) and Franco Morbidelli (Pramac) crashed at the Sepang International Circuit, but then overtook Marini, was a slap in the face for the 27-year-old. “Every time a Ducati rider crashes and continues, you know what awaits you later in the race. On the straights they passed me like rockets, as if they came from another planet,” Marini said. his frustration. “We absolutely have to reach a higher level and take something away from Ducati, because in this way they are completely destroying this championship. We have to find something.”
