After winning the first two rounds of the year, Ducati’s winning streak ended at the MotoGP Americas GP. Maverick Viñales took Aprilia to the top, while the best Ducati was Enea Bastianini in third. Nevertheless, the company’s CEO, Claudio Domenicali, was not completely dissatisfied with the outcome.
In an interview with the website GPOne.com, the Italian commented that the Borgo Panigale manufacturer could have done better in Austin: ‘The race was very good, although we did not have the best race we could have had. The championship is long and there were still three Ducatis in the top five‘.
Domenicali emphasized the disadvantage that this year’s regulations represent for Ducati in having very limited possibilities to develop the Desmosedici GP24:
– It is obvious that we cannot win every race, because then the journalists complain that the championship belongs to one manufacturer [laughs], but I would like to remind everyone that this year Ducati is competing with a disadvantage and I think it is interesting to remember that in light of a race like Sunday’s.
