At Ducati they don’t explain it. They don’t understand how Marc Marquez He achieved his performance with the inferior bike, the one in front of which they rode Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin and with whom they fought for the MotoGP world championship. AND Gigi Dall’Ignathe great engineer of the factory, tried to analyze it.
“It’s not hard to explain, I just can’t explain it”says Gigi when asked about Marc’s three victories with the Gresini.
“I already said at the beginning of the year that the figures on paper spoke of an important step forward and that we would have risked more with the new model because I hoped that other manufacturers, especially those who had concessions , during the season have the opportunity to make significant progress. The GP23 had a few updates for all drivers during the year, but they were minor. »explains the engineer.
“Marc will encounter the same climate as the pilots who preceded him. We have a draft plan which could change. Above all, he will have the GP23 and GP25or rather the embryo of the GP25 because it is a motorcycle which could have different evolutions. For the moment we are not planning to test the GP24, but depending on needs we could modify our program,” he explains.
Continuing to be consistent is the key: “The consistency is there, winning is important for the people, for me, for Pecco, for the men around him, but for the brands and the sponsors, I think continuing to be competitive and leader over time. That’s the key.” most important thing.”
The one from Cervera has already tried the GP25 during Montmeló testing this Tuesday. And the sensations were very good. He set the fourth best time of the session.
