Rossi never added to his seven MotoGP wor🧸ld championships after leaving Yamaha for Ducati, where he spent two disastrous seasons in 2💧011 and 2012. Even a return to Yamaha could not restore him to the summit of the sport.

Ducati also spent years in the wilderness - 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia, this year, became their first premier class champion since 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Casey Stoner 15 years ago.

"We couldn't handle it, we took the hit," Dome✅nicali🌊 said. 

"When you take the most famous rider in Italy with nine world titles and🐽 you can't win you also have damage to your image. 

“I became CEO in 2013, when [Rossi left], and I picked up the pieces. At that point you can only ge💫t back to work to start aꦐgain.”

The arrival of Gigi Dall’Igna in 2014 is widely credited as turning around D🧸ucati’s fortunes.

"For two years✅ we have worked a lot to make changes,” Domenicali said.

The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2023 MotoGP rider line-up will see Bagnaia partnered by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini in the factory team.

Bastianini earned the promotion ahead of the outgoing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller, and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin who will remain at Pramac. 

It means the iconic Italian team will now boast two Italian riders, each harbouring realistic ho🐼pes of claiming the championship for themselves.

"We don't look at nationality or if it's a character, the choice ❀is always sporting,” Domenicali said. 

“We try to have the brand and the rider at the 🤪same level, then obviously if the riders achieve results they gain fame, it's natura🧔l."
