1 week ago | cycleworld.com | Kevin Cameron

Marc Márquez on factory Ducati has done it again, regaining the point lead from brother Álex. Before practice Marc was reserved about his chances. He said, “I have only won one year here.”This has two basic causes: The track has fast right-handers that are his weak area, and his strength in his best years has been in “small” point-and-shoot corners that favor his brake hard, get turned early, and blast off riding style. Not many in Qatar.

He has been world champion 15 times—more than anyone else—even Valentino Rossi. No racer has matched his title count. Even today, Giacomo Agostini is widely considered the greatest of all time.

With no metal cage to protect them, if they lose control, they often find themselves ejected from the saddle of their machine, their bodies at the mercy of Newton’s laws of motion as they are usually flung hard onto an unforgiving racing surface. Making matters worse is when someone crashes in the middle of a close pack of racers fighting for position.

Back in 1971, the Italian ISDT team decided to try the potential advantages of desmodromic valve actuation and asked Ducati to create an ISDT bike equipped with the historic 450 desmo engine. Enter the Ducati 450 R/T. Delivering 38 hp and proving totally indifferent to the abuse of extreme off-road competition, the engine was a very positive element. The chassis was big and tall and demanded a very strong rider to fully exploit the potential of the bike.
