Ducati, Dall’Igna exposes himself on Bagnaia’s renewal

The new MotoGP season kicks off in Qatar, on the weekend of March 9-10

The wait is coming to an end. On the weekend of March 9-10, in Qatar, the new MotoGP season will begin. Of course, it will start again with everyone chasing Bagnaia’s Ducati. The two-time World Champion is aiming for a trio and Ducati è ready to do anything to please him and give him a bike that can continue to enhance his talent. However, first there'è the renewal issue to be resolved.

Dall'Igna, Ducati’s general manager, is aiming to extend Bagnaia’s contract before the start of the new season, although the negotiation is, of course, not so simple, given the status Bagnaia has achieved: "Renew before Qatar? We are working for that. Then, the contract of a two-time World Champion è always complicated", his words to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Dall'Igna sees Bagnaia "… With an even higher awareness" than in 2023 but è also aware of the pitfalls that the new season hides, with the new concessions for the other Houses: "For sure, the concessions give an advantage to the other Houses, also allowing some of them to risk much more", being able to change engine or having an additional fairing", his closing remark.
