Ducati has been the clear dominant force in MotoGP in recent years, especially this season – winning all but one of the 20 Grands Prix. Tony Cairoli believes this trend will continue, pointing to the highly advanced technology of the bikes and its significant impact on overall performance.
Asked by GPOne.com whether he expects the Borgo Panigale manufacturer to maintain its dominance in the premier class in the coming years, the motocross legend replied:
– I think so, unless some rule is introduced, not to favor other brands, but to allow them to do a bit more to close the gap. They are already doing it, but it’s still not enough because everything is becoming a bit too technological.
Cairoli noted that the influence of the bike compared to the rider is excessive in MotoGP: ‘Today, the vehicle makes too much of a difference compared to the rider, which doesn’t happen in motocross and is something we’re not used to, although technology is advancing here too, and maybe that’s okay’.
