The MotoGP season has entered its final stages, and the excitement has more than delivered. With four races remaining, the championship lead is at stake and only 10 points separate the top two finishers. Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin.
One of the great beneficiaries of both the Italian and the Spanish leading the general classification, in addition to the two other Ducati riders occupying third and fourth place, is due to Gigi Dall’IgnaCEO and one of the key figures in the great recent success of the Italian brand. This season’s champion is from Ducati, but nevertheless, There are doubts about possible favoritism towards one of the two pilots facing the final stage of the premier category championship.
In a recent interview with La Gazzetta dello Sportthe boss of Ducati is in charge of clarifying those rumors and clarified that He feels no preference for Bagnaiacurrent MotoGP champion, not even ‘Martinator’who confirmed his signing for Aprilia starting in 2025. After being asked if the latter was an indicator that they would end up ‘managing’ the success of the Italian rider, Dall’Igna was forceful and said that “They don’t know my history”.
“Those who say we will not let Jorge Martín win do not know my history. This is a sport and it is fair that it continues to be a sport. For me, the best must win“said the leader of Ducati Corsewho added that “it is significant that we do not introduce technical innovations that prevent one from receiving better treatment than others.”
In that sense, Bagnaia asked to use the new chassis recently tested in the Misano tests. However, he was met with rejection by the team because this improvement could not be implemented on all Ducati riders.
“For me the best should win… maybe other people can make other decisions”argued a Dall’Igna who decided to maintain a “sportsmanlike and respectful” tone in the rivalry between Martín and Bagnaia heading into the final stage of the championship, a trend he expects to continue until the end of the course, and particularly in the tie – equal of conditions.
