The next
tests at Mugello are a Source of optimism for Marina, which hopes that the new parts to be tested will bring significant improvements. “ I can’t wait to try the new things at Mugello.

Finally, Lucas Marina shared his thoughts on the importance of adapting riding style. “ Observing Bagnaia and Martin, it is evident that adapting riding style and position on the bike can make a big difference. In my opinion just the way they ride so low on the bike will be the key to the future of our sport. Everyone tries to imitate them and me too. I’m also working on adapting my style to try to get the most out of our equipment,” he concluded, emphasizing a desire for constant evolution.
