The MotoGP tests in Sepang and Losail demonstrated a very strong Ducati Desmosedici GP24 with all the riders who rode it – Francesco Bagnaia, Enea Bastianini (Ducati), and Jorge Martín (Prima Pramac).
Marco Bezzecchi will ride a GP23 at Pertamina Enduro VR46 Racing and the competitiveness of the current bikes has not gone unnoticed by him. The third-place finisher in last year’s championship commented after the Qatar tests:
– Even before the test, because he is the world champion, so he always starts as the favorite. But seeing how fast the factory Ducatis are, usually when you bring a new bike in the beginning you need some time, you have some difficulties. They arrived and they are very fast – not only Pecco, but also Enea, Jorge. Pecco a little more, but anyway they are very fast. I’m not worried, but I’m aware that he will be the man to beat.
