Ducati admit fear that Gigi Dall’Igna may receive mega-money offer from rivals

Dall’Igna was ambitiously targeted by Honda earlier this year, but opted to s🍸tay put.
The Ducati general manager and engineer extraordinaire could continu🎉e to recei𒉰ve tempting offers to jump ship, his boss fears.
Claudio Domenical🎐i told about Dall’Igna: "He is a star in his sector.
“We are very aligned. I hope he s♚tays with us forever.
“But I don't rule out that one day Honda could make him a mega ꦫoffer.
“But not even Gigi knows all the secret💎s of the magic Ducati formula.
“There are some well-nailed to the floor of Borgo Panigal𝓰e.
“Du🎐ca🌱ti's winning formula is like Coca-Cola's: secret.
“In the coꩵmpany, everyone knows only part of the recipe. But no one knows all t𝓀he ingredients."
The revival of D💜ucati back to the top of the MotoGP world is largely credited to Dall’Igna.
The brain of the Desmosedici project, he guided them through their lowest ebb and 🐈to the back-to-back MotoGP championships that Francesco Bagnaia has collected.
This season was dominated by Ducꦇati, with all three title contenders representing a different team﷽ under the manufacturer’s umbrella.
Honda, who spent many years 🐠on top but are now lingering at the back, tried to recruit Dall’Igna as part of a project to rebuild themselves.
Dall’Igna explained the offer he rejected to : “♕I feel good at Ducati.
“I worked so hard to get to a situation where Ducati is considered a modelღ, leaving now wouldn't have been logical.
“Then, it's true that I did what I had to do here.☂ It could have been a challenge won and archived.
“A🍌nd Honda is an equꦜally interesting and important challenge."
