Ducati common supervisor Gigi Dall’Igna believes the marque will discover it “unattainable” to lockout the highest 5 positions in MotoGP races prefer it did in 2024.
The 2024 marketing campaign noticed Ducati completely dominate, with it profitable 19 of the 20 grands prix and romping to the constructors’ championship.
Jorge Martin grew to become the marque’s third world champion rider when he guided his Pramac-run GP24 to a career-first premier class crown after a season-long battle with Francesco Bagnaia.
On 14 events in 2024, Ducati locked out the rostrum, whereas it achieved 53 podiums from six of its eight riders.
Within the dash race in Thailand, the highest eight spots had been all Ducati riders, whereas within the Japanese GP it cemented the highest 5 and the highest six on the Thai GP.
Although going through a improvement freeze (together with all non-concession marques) forward of the 2027 rules change and dropping two bikes from its steady, Ducat isn’t anticipated to slide down the order.
However Dall’Igna is anticipating its domination to change into tougher.
“Subsequent yr it will likely be unattainable to get outcomes like Japan (prime 5) and Australia,” Dall’Igna instructed Australian MCN.
“However even monopolising the rostrum like we have now achieved these days shall be harder. Ducati comes out properly particularly from a sporting level with these outcomes.
“The benefits that the others have, particularly Honda and Yamaha [with concessions], are many, so I anticipated to should undergo a bit extra this season.
“That’s why we took a couple of extra dangers firstly of the yr, understanding that the others might progress throughout the season and we couldn’t. And our threat clearly paid off.
“Each time I understand a slight discount in efficiency or that the hole with the others is closing, I push my guys considerably.
“These championships are a giant because of all of the Ducati Corse workers.”
Subsequent yr Bagnaia shall be joined by Marc Marquez on the manufacturing facility Ducati squad, whereas its variety of works bikes shrinks from 4 to a few.
The ultimate GP25 will go to VR46 rider Fabio Di Giannantonio.
