MotoGp, Ducati: Gigi Dall'Igna speaks out on Marc Marquez

Four race weekends, as many victories in the Sprints and three successes in the Sunday GPs, with the only blemish of retirement in Texas: l’Marc Marquez’s start to the season is a real statement of intent, and although there is so much to go before the end of the championship, the number 99 now seems to be launched very much towards a season as an absolute protagonist.

At the Ducati pits, the’enthusiasm is not lacking and even Gigi Dall’Igna, who rarely indulges in enthusiastic comments before finally getting a result, has no doubts about how Marquez is handling this adventure in the factory team: “It’ a show, he is proving the’importance of the pilot” are the words of the general manager of Ducati Corse gathered by ‘As’.

Marquez rode virtually the entire race at the Lusail circuit with the bike slightly damaged, after a contact with his brother Alex: “I was not worried – said Dall’Igna -, it seemed to me that he had the situation under control. When he started making one fast lap after another, he confirmed the’very good management of the race”.

Marc Marquez is in his second year with Ducati: after a first season in Team Gresini, riding the Desmosedici GP-23, he switched this year to the factory team, on the GP-25 with which he has already taken great satisfaction. At the moment the Catalan centaur is also winning the internal challenge with Pecco Bagnaia (third in the overall standings, 26 points behind), but the season is still very long.
