Since 2022, Ducati has claimed every title there is to win in MotoGP – whether with the factory team or satellite teams. This year, their ambitions are even higher, with the addition of Marc Márquez as Francesco Bagnaia’s teammate.
Improvement remains the guiding principle in Borgo Panigale, though Ducati Corse General Manager Gigi Dall’Igna acknowledges that achieving it is increasingly challenging:
– After a record-breaking year in terms of performance and results, our goal remains the same. We want to continue improving, even if every year, looking at the numbers and statistics, it is increasingly difficult. We are very proud of the entire working group and we are ready to face a new challenge in MotoGP, which has always been the maximum expression of motorcycle racing.
The engineer highlighted the caliber of Ducati’s two riders: ‘Expectations are high, is normal, because we have an excellent technical package and a pair of riders that need no introduction with 11 World Championship titles across the various categories. They are probably among the strongest guys on the entire MotoGP grid: Pecco remains a point of reference for Ducati and I am sure Marc will be able to settle into the Team and show all his talent’.
Dall’Igna added: ‘We know that the other manufacturers are making a strong effort and I expect even higher competition where Ducati Corse can be competitive’.
