Dall’Igna has been general manager at 🙈Ducati for nine years when he started, and still oversees, the Desmosedici project.

And while Dall’Igna can take credit☂ for the best bike on the MotoGP grid which looks set to win two championships in a row, Honಌda are struggling with arguably the worst machine.

Alberto Puig, the Repsol Honda team manager, “had in his hands the poss🐭ibility of hiring the guru of the paddock,” report.

But the fantasy move fell apart.

Honda were “scar𓂃ed in the la♊st moment,” the report claims.

“Out o🌺f haughtiness, out of arrogance - they think that no one can teach them anything.”

Puig now “lives in despair,” the repor💎t continues.

“Puig is tired, fed up.”

Th🍸e difference in the machinery at Ducati and Honda could not be stꦯarker.

Puig has watched his two factory riders, Marc Marquez and Joan Mir, complete just one grand prix each this season, 🌸after 10 ✨rounds.

Factory Ducati rider Francesco Bagnaia, meanwhile, is vying for a second consecutive MotoGP title with his closest challenger, Pramac’s Jorge Martin, al꧂so riding a latest-spec Desmosedici - the crown jewel of Dall’Igna’s career.
