Ducati is always great

The start of the 2024 MotoGP season confirmed that the Ducati It's the bike to beat. Jorge Martin has in fact signed it pole position and success in the Sprintwhile Francesco Bagnaia took home the victory in the Sunday race and leadership in the world championship ranking.
The general director of the Racing Department, Luigi Dall'Igna, can therefore be more than satisfied, given that 6 Ducatis occupied the first 7 positions.

Dall'Igna's analysis from the Ducati website

“Wonderful victory in one almost perfect race with an exceptional start. No exaggeration: applause. A very important statement not only because winning in the debut race means starting in the best possible way and giving a strong signal to ourselves and others, but above all because it is the result of a weekend that did not start well, or rather we say also that it was a complicated start, resolved promptly and in the best way. A commendable team result.

Pecco dominated the race with the authority of a Championhe immediately set a pace that was unattainable for the others, a demonstration of strength just when it was needed.
Aeneas missed the high note but it comforts me to still see him fifth with the points needed to not miss the band of the best waiting to be the protagonist as he deserves.

Notes of note also for Martin and Marquez. Jorgecombative as always, he reiterated, immediately in qualifying and in the Sprint, but also on Sunday, throughout stubbornness and speed that we know well and that we left at the end of the season: whoever fights for the title will have to deal with him, that's for sure. Marc he has already shown all the talent and class in his ability to adapt: he is already a fearsome protagonist on a completely new bike for him, first on the finish line among our 2023s: the experience and desire of the Champion who wants to get back to having his say will make the difference in this new adventure.

Finally, a consideration: this weekend, between qualifying, Sprint and GP, he demonstrated once again, without there being any need, how nothing is easy and obvious, much less already written, even when everything seems to indicate it. Each race is a story in itself, there are many unknowns to deal with, especially in a challenge with fierce and competitive opponents who have grown a lot in recent months and it showed. It becomes essential not to let your guard down and never stop, with the commitment and work that give you the joy of victories like this. Go Ducati!”
