Marc Marquez comes to Ducati be a companion Pecco Bagnaia. The two great champions of the MotoGP grid with the best bike. A very intense year is ahead. And some like Carlo Pernatwho was at the head of Valentino Rossi among other things, he believes that Marc “will create problems” in the red box.
He said in an interview with ‘Moto Grand Prix’: “Ducati signed an eight-time world champion, but he is 32 years old and This will surely create problems for the team next year, I’m sure. “He still has physical problems, he’s not the same guy he was before who ‘destroyed’ everyone.”
“It’s obviously a legitimate choice, we’ll see who was right. Martin, Bezzecchi and Bastianini They strengthen a skill they didn’t have before. I don’t even think they took Marquez out of fear of increasing competition, it’s not like he had many alternatives,” he says.
Regarding the fight between Pecco and Marc, he predicts a “psychological fight”: “Bagnaia is very strong, he won two World Cups and fought for the third until the last match. Certainly, having Márquez around is not pleasant at all, he is someone who works a lot psychologically. “Bagnaia’s goal will be to beat the eight-time world champion, but on the other hand there will be a different atmosphere in the team.”
He doesn’t understand the choice of driver
Pernat says the Bologna team made a mistake by choosing Marc before his young drivers: “It is clear that everyone does what they want, but Dall’Igna by choosing Márquez, he lost all the young pilots he had raisedto number 1 which went to Aprilia and the Pramac team. He lost Bastianini, Martín and Bezzecchi, riders who grew up with Ducati…”.
believe that The loss of Pramac Racing is also “serious”the team with which Jorge Martín became world champion: “The most serious thing is that in addition to losing three young and strong riders, he also lost his reference team, a team that was a subsidiary of Ducati for 20 years.”
“Pramac is the biggest loss apart from the departure of Martín. In the last two years, Pramac participated in the world championship with the official team. In my opinion, it was also Dorna who wanted Márquez as “rosso”“, concludes Pernat.
