A few weeks before the start of the season, projections are beginning to accumulate about who will win the next edition of the MotoGP world championship. In Miguel Oliveira’s opinion, the eight riders who are part of the Ducati universe are starting in pole position. In addition to them, he highlights the quality of rookie Pedro Acosta.
‘Inevitably, all the Ducati riders. There is no doubt about that, it is proven that any rider who goes to Ducati is fast. More consistent, less consistent, but they all constantly hover around the podium. Therefore, there are eight of them. So, it will undoubtedly be complicated,’ pointed out the Portuguese to Sport TV, who, despite the strength of the Italian brand, affirms that there is a lot of balance on the grid.
‘I cannot disregard anyone, not even rookie Pedro Acosta, because we are all close to each other, the bikes are very similar, what we have to do instead of starting the season by looking outside, who can do what, my goal is to start the season by looking at myself, at my bike and at my team and make the most of what I can do.’
Francesco Bagnaia is the current two-time world champion and in 2023 he had Jorge Martín fighting him until the final race of the calendar.
