Ducati, Bagnaia vs. Martin: Gigi Dall'Igna sings victory
Ducati general manager Gigi Dall'Igna celebrates a 2024 in MotoGP dominated by the Borgo Panigale company: "It will be a great Ducati celebration that of the last race, as this Championship and all the fans deserve, and especially as our two champions deserve, who, with their respective teams and under the Ducati Corse flag, share not only a splendid bike but also that characteristic that è style, philosophy, approach to work, team spirit and that certain ‘winning way’".
The Sepang duel between Martin and Bagnaia è was memorable: "With what we saw, what is there’è to add? We witnessed one of the most compelling duels in MotoGP history, on a physically demanding track with corners and braking taken to the extreme limit".
"The first laps were absolutely sensational: a spectacle of braking, overtaking, crossing of trajectories and counter-overtaking; where even the mostù smallest space was good to slip in and retake the lead".
"Pecco and Jorge today honored the World Championship as only true champions know how to do… The pressure was on Pecco to win, to keep the championship open, while Jorge fought unsparingly, even taking unnecessary risks to stay in front. A heart-stopping duel that eventually saw Bagnaia stretch with a peremptory pace, overcoming the resistance of Martin, who però eventually had to desist… Especially considering the very important points guaranteed by second place after the’exit of Marc Marquez".
