Marquez was was a standout performer in the Spanish Grand Prix and recorded his second win of the season.
However, Honda were keen to mix things up in testing and the Catalan was given Stefan Bradl’s bike to take for a spin.
The machine has a carbon-fibre reinforced frame and the five-time world champion was even faster than usual while using it.
"I did my best lap time with Bradl’s bike," Marquez said afterwards.
“MotoGP ace Andrea Dovizioso wasn't impressed with Marc Marquez”
When told about Marquez’s run out on a bike with a new frame while he had only minor tweaks to test, Dovizioso jokingly told GPOne: “That’s not nice!”
Dovizioso missed out on a podium finish in Jerez and crossed the line in fourth.
The Italian suggested Ducati must take every opportunity to improve his offering.
He added: “I knew we wouldn’t have anything by to test here, but we have less and less tests and need to make the most of every opportunity.
“Also, having already found a good base, it’s increasingly hard, but we have to do it.”

Speaking after Sunday’s race, Dovizioso was downbeat.
“Our goal was to make a podium and we didn’t,” he said.
“This is the negative. The other negative part is the confirmation of our speed in the fast corners.
“I was struggling at the beginning of the race. I couldn’t keep that speed.
“This is the reality. We worked quite well during the practice and our speed was quite good.
“Just the race can show the real reality. I didn’t need this race to confirm our negative point of the bike, but I thought there was a smaller limit in that place.
“The practice is one story, the race another. To make a fast lap with new tyres with new grip almost everybody in MotoGP is ready to do it. To make good speed with racing conditions is a different story.”
