• Marc Marquez: “I will understand th൲is year” if my level has droppꦓed 

• Jorge Martin intent on joiningಌ factory Ducat𓄧i team: ‘They know what I want'

And since then Bagnaia has been peerless in pre-season testing, topping both t🐷he Malaysia and Qatar tests with🉐 new lap records.

Speaking ahead of his title defence, Bagnaia said: “We arrive here in great shape. We wor🌜ked 🍌perfectly in the test and managed to do all the work we planned.

“My feeling on the new bike is quite good. We just di🌳d five days of testing and we need more days on it.

“But my feeling is good and it looks like this year’s bike is ꦗquite competitive right now. Renewing the contract෴ is something very important for me and for Ducati. 

“Having a clear mindset is ღbetter and I can be focused on the results.”

Bagnaia’s title defence will begin shortly after signing a new mult๊i-year deal that keeps him with Ducat🍸i untilt he end of 2026.

“We s𒅌tarted speaking about the renewal last year,” said Bagnaia when discussing his new contract.

“We were in the same direction and I wanted Ducati, and Ducati ไwanted me. We had time to do it w♕ithout having so much press.

“Both sides were doing their job sꦜo it was quite easy to go through and we are happy together. It was not difficult to sign.”

While 2022 and 2023♈ were incredible seasons for Bagnaia, 𓆏both of which showed a different side to Bagnaia’s ability, 2024 could be his hardest year yet when it comes to remaining on top.

Martin is expected to challenge the Italian once again, while Enea Bastianܫini, Marc Marquez and Brad Binder are also expected to ♎be very strong throughout the year.

But Bagnaia is confi𒉰dent he can remain in the mix, largely because his mindset has never been stronger.

Asked if winning two titles in succession has changed his approach, Bagnaia said: “No! Honestly, no because I want to continue d🉐oing what I love to do.

“The ambi𓃲tion is the same, the work at home is the same, the work in the box is even higher and it will always be like this.”
