Gigi Dall’Igna insists “we can't play dirty” when asked about team orders within Duca🤡ti.

The Italian manufacturer’s eight bikes on the 2024 MotoGP grid (double the amount of the Aprilias, KTMs and Hondas) plus the superiority of the Desmosedici means that 🍌team orders is a constant source o🍒f intrigue.

Last year, Ducati had three riders vying for the championship (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi).

The b𓆏rand’s chiefs were constantly a𒊎sked if they preferred a factory rider to become champion - a subject which could become more prickly this season with the addition of Marc Marquez at Gresini.

Asked if Ducati riders could follow established orders, general manager Dall’Igna replied to : “This is a sport, which means we have to act in a sporting way and we can't play d🤪irty🅠.

“This is the basis of my philosophy.

“To play dirty would be to limit the performan🌄ce of a bike to prevent a rider from winning.

“Jorge Martin had all the cards to fight for the titl🧔e last year, right to the end. No stran🐼ge moves.

“That's playing fair, playing the sport corr𝔍ec﷽tly.”

And in the 2022 season, then-Gresini rider Enea Bastianini was able to fight factory rider and eventual champion Bagnaia wheel-to-wheel at 🐷several late rounds.

But in b👍oth seasons it has been Bagnaia who triumphed as champion.

His supremacy may be challenged by Marquez who will ride a year-old Ducati at his new team, but h♒as been tipped to challenge for the title by many peopl꧑e within the paddock.

Dall’Igna was asked if more people would credit Marquez, rather than the bike that he 🤡ꦦhas built for Ducati.

“My goal is to 🧸win, and I have to try to make Ducati do it for as long as possible,” he replied.

“That is the goal in my job. I am not egocentrꦿic in that sense.

“I don't see only Ducati winning, but winning to⛄gether with the rider and the team. We are a team.

“I have never considered ✤whether the rider or the bike is more important.

“The only thing that counts is that, at the end of the season, whoever wins the most🔯 important title will be on a Ducati.”

The new concessions rules this year - which will prohibit Ducati as last year’s most do🌳minant team - could level the playing field an💎d see additional challengers emerge.
