Ducati, Gigi Dall’Igna over the moon: “Mission accomplished.”
The words of Gigi Dall'Igna
To Ducati official channels, the general manager of the racing department Gigi Dall'Igna bluntly analyzed the triumphant Motegi weekend that saw the Borgo Panigale stable’s motorcycles monopolize the top five positions. In addition, the five achieved also made arithmetic the rainbow double for the Italian team, since only Pecco Bagnaia, Jorge Martin, Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianini remained in the race for the riders title.
"Another splendid order of arrival with five Ducatis in the top 5 positions. In particular, a perfect weekend that of Pecco who signs a double, the fourth this year, with the seal of the eighth victory of the season in a long race as only a few champions have been able to do in the history of MotoGp. Once again he managed with absolute mastery the technical and competitive resources at his disposal, optimizing them to the best of his ability. He not only reduced the gap in the standings but reaffirmed his strength, determination and psychological resilience in a season finale that is set to be fiery and highly exciting. With a great start he è immediately imposed himself in a race that he dominated from the first to the last lap managing, with intelligence and experience, to keep under control the comeback of Martin" began the Ducati general manager.
"Martin, too, was not to be outdone. Thanks to a monstrous first lap he è got right behind the leaders and managed to climb back up to second position and even fight for the win, only to realize that he had to settle for second place. He limited the damage in an exemplary way both in the Sprint and in the long race, holding on to a World Championship so far conducted in a great way" continued the blue executive.
On Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianini: "It was an important podium for Marc, which came after a complicated qualifying. He was good at fending off the attempts of Bastianini as usual fierce and protagonist in the second half of the race after an uncertain start that marked his entire race. The two of them are fighting for third place and are only detached by two points".
"However the rainbow fight goes for us it will be a success. We have achieved the goal, since we have the mathematical certainty that it will be a Ducati rider who will win the World Championship and this fills us with pride. We will prepare for a great celebration regardless of who will be the Champion. We are ready to enjoy a spectacular finale that will be truly so if lived under the banner of sportsmanship, what must always distinguish a sport like ours and show all its beauty" commented Gigi Dall'Igna about the rainbow fight.
