Ducati, Dall'Igna even more amazed by Marc Marquez

Ducati general manager Gigi Dall’Igna in his usual debriefing following race weekends spoke about Marc Marquez and his injury: “Marc was not 100 percent and now we all know why. The revelation of Marc’s impending shoulder surgery, which had not been made public until now and was scheduled after Barcelona, ​​further underscores his immense talent, considering his performance to date, making his new record at Le Mans even more extraordinary,” he said referring to the fast lap set by the Catalan rider on Saturday.

“Whatever happens, we look forward to seeing him back on track with us. We send our champion our best wishes for a full and speedy recovery, with a big hug from the whole team.”

Ducati must chase Aprilia: “Now we have to calmly analyze the big picture. Despite the bad luck, the fundamentals remain solid, with the crash as the only real competitive hiccup. The key word here is awareness: we must certainly improve , but also recognize the positive aspects of the collective performance.”

Applause to Bagnaia despite the fall: “You could not ask more of Pecco; he gave everything. He hadn’t started from pole position since Malaysia, but he maintained a challenging pace all weekend. In the sprint he found his rhythm right away.”
