Pecco Bagnaia exposes himself on Marc Marquez

Among the main protagonists of 'Campioni in Festa', an event staged on Friday, December 15 at the Unipol Arena in Casalecchio di Reno (Bologna) to celebrate Ducati’s successes in the sporting sphere, Pecco Bagnaia also spoke about who è just climbed on the Desmosedici in post-season testing and will make his racing debut, on the Team Gresini bike, in 2024: Marc Marquez.

"Marquez will be " very fast and will be one more opponent," said Bagnaia, who expects an immediately competitive Catalan on the new bike". "He" got on the best bike there" but that" will not be him" the" only" rival" he then pointed out, recalling that Ducati will serve, in addition to the official team, three other teams (Pramac, Gresini and VR46).

More generally, Bagnaia then spoke about the season that just ended and the prospects for next year: "It would not have been easy to accept losing the World Championship – he said, talking about the battle until the last race with Jorge Martin -. Last year è it was very different, because at one point it seemed impossible to recover, given the gap accumulated".

It will also be the second year with sprint races on all race weekends: "Actually, as far as I am concerned, I always preferred the Sunday races, moreover since Barcelona the sprint races had become more complicated for us. But we aim to get great results in the next season as well. However, I am still not thinking about 2024, these days I am relaxing".
