Ducati VR46, Luca Marini: testy response to Aleix Espargaró

Valentino Rossi’s team centaur Luca Marini: “Is Ducati dominating? It’s racing, Honda has done it for 10 years.”

Team VR46 centaur Luca Marini in the press conference before the three-day MotoGp in Sepang responded to Aleix Espargaró, who complained about Ducati’s overwhelming strength this season: “Ducati dominating a problem for MotoGp? Not at all. It’s like that every time, it’s racing. Honda has dominated for ten years, and no one has complained. Let them invest more and do a better job.”

“Aprilia has taken a big step forward, and Aleix should be happy and proud for what they have done so far. Also making a difference for Ducati are the many fast riders: more data comes in that allows the team to improve. Aprilia having only two riders has less data,” concluded Valentino Rossi’s brother.
