Three-way challenge
Four Ducatis in the top four positions, six in the top seven. Even at Le Mans the Borgo Panigale manufacturer destroyed the competition, but the most debated topic in the media continues to be Internal ‘battle’ between Enea Bastianini, Marc Marquez and Jorge Martin for the second saddle within the official team in 2025. This extra motivation is making all three centaurs perform at their best and at Ducati we can only be happy for this internal derby.
Pleasant problems
“The decision will be shared by many people – declared Davide Tardozzi to the microphones of Sky Sports MotoGP talking about the final choice of Pecco Bagnaia’s future boxing partner – Claudio Domenicali is not only the person who runs the company, he is a motorcycle enthusiast and understands it. Then there’s Gigi [Dall’Igna] who has all the data, Mauro Grassilli will make his assessments from the DS and marketing point of view and there will be others who will give their opinion. This is the fruit of the work that Ducati has done over the last 7-8 years, making the riders and the bike grow. I think it’s something that we’ve earned that’s leading us to these problems, but have these problems“.
No pressure
“There is a team that has done something incredible – added the red team manager – Ducati is expressing something, such as technology and organization, that is unique. Everything influences the choice. But the thing that will have the most influence will be identifying the driver who will give the best performance in the future and it is very difficult because all three are very good. I want to highlight Enea’s race, he had an incredible second part of the race after struggling a bit at the start to overtake. Martin’s pressure on Bagnaia? No, he doesn’t hear it – concluded Tardozzi – Today he thought he could win and he’s just very disappointed. The crash on Saturday morning and yesterday’s problem in the Sprint certainly clipped his wings. A champion is rightly not satisfied“.
