In the MotoGP Qatar Grand Prix, Ducati proved to be the most competitive manufacturer in MotoGP, but the rivals were not far behind – especially KTM, with Brad Binder never losing sight of Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati) in the main race.
Enea Bastianini, the other rider from the factory team of the Borgo Panigale manufacturer, believes that the Austrians will be one of the main opponents in 2024 – just like Aprilia:
– I think Ducati is now the benchmark for all manufacturers and I believe that KTM is now very close to Ducati, because we saw Brad very competitive in both races. I think the factory KTM could be, alongside Aprilia, our opponent for this year.
