"We would like more torque. And to change the balance to help with braking."
No bikes currently on circuit but the test is underway at Valencia.
The Valencia test is available to watch on TNT Sports or the MotoGP videopass, and begins at 09:00am UK time.
When it was confirmed he would join Ducati, many have been waiting for this day as Marquez gets suited and booted for his first test as a Ducati rider.
