The competition for a MotoGP saddle is usually very tight. If then that place belongs to one Ducati Factory, the level of contention is raised further: riding a Borgo Panigale motorcycle with the official colors guarantees not only very high competitiveness (which all satellite team riders can enjoy), but also the possibility of trying all the updates to the first opportunity available. Winning the battle for Jack Miller’s succession was Aeneas Bastianiniwhich got the better of Jorge Martin and Johann Zarco. The Frenchman could hold a grudge against the parent company, but instead preferred to compliment the # 23, admitting that he – instead of the top Ducati leaders – would have made exactly the same choice.
“I feel good with the Pramac team, staying here is good both for me and for the team. Staying here is not a wasted opportunity, the factory Ducati focuses on young people, riders who potentially have ten career seasons ahead of them. Bagnaia and Bastianini are seven years younger than me, and I won’t have these ten years: if I ran for another decade, I’d be 42, only Valentino Rossi could do it“, These are the words of Zarco al Corriere dello Sport. “Bastianini’s choice was easy. Enea won the races, Martin and I did nottherefore, it was right to focus on the Italian, who had stratospheric results with the Desmosedici of 2021. He made a masterpiece year, winning four races. For me he is the best driver of the seasoneven if it is true that there is not much difference between Bagnaia’s GP21 and GP22“.
