Without Marc Marquez's mistakes, last Sunday's Spanish MotoGP season-opener would probably have ended with Honda's reigning champion taking victory over the Yamahas of Fabio Quartararo and Maverick Vinales.

While other manufacturers are now introducing their own holeshot devices for one-off use at the start of a MotoGP race, Ducati's ride-height system remains a step clear by also being operational on other parts of the track.

Normally, MotoGP riders crave extra grip. But the increased performance of the new 2020 Michelin rear tyre has robbed the Ducati riders of their ability to slide the back of the bike into corners.

Andrea Dovizioso is confident that his recently fractured collarbone will not be a problem during this weekend's season-opening Spanish MotoGP.
