If Jorge Martín is MotoGP riders’ champion, Ducati will see his factory team’s rider – Francesco Bagnaia – lose a fight to a rival from a satellite team. In any case, the champion will be someone riding a Desmosedici GP23 and linked to the Borgo Panigale manufacturer.
Óscar Haro told Paddock TV that, if the Spaniard is the champion, Ducati will still have reasons to be satisfied: ‘Gigi Dall’Igna [Ducati Corse General Manager] has a different mentality. If Jorge Martin wins the World Championship, he will be happy because it will be a Ducati winning and because his project of trusting young and unofficial riders will win’.
There are three rounds left in the season and anything can happen in the fight for the title. Bagnaia leads only 13 points ahead of Martín, and with such small margins it is already evident that even during a GP everything can change.
