Francesco ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia is Ducati’s leading candidate for the MotoGP title and has already secured his future with the official team, but his team-mate is far from being decided, with the choice between Enea Bastianini or Jorge Martin.
The subject has been the talk of the paddock. Firstly because the best Ducati rider this year is third-placed Johann Zarco, who does not appear to be on the table to join the official team. If last year Jorge Martin caught the eye with the Desmosedici, this year the same happened with Enea Bastianini. One of them will be a factory rider in the official team and the other will be a factory rider on the Pramac with the same bike, just like that, as Domenicali explained to La Gazzetta dello Sport:
– Nothing changes. Let me explain: Bastianini and Martin will both have an official Desmosedici, with all the material and developments in real time. So it’s like having three riders. The only difference will be that one will have the official Ducati livery and the other that Pramac.
The Italian also made a brief comment about ‘Pecco’ Bagnaia, namely to clarify what he lacks to be able to fight for the title in the premier class:
– He has talent and determination. So far he has lacked a pinch of maturity in some races, it is the last step to take the World Championship. But I believe it, those points can be recovered.
