Alex Marquez says Ducati general manager Gigi Dall’Igna “gives us a loꦑt of confidence” because “he is on top of everything” when it comes to the🦄 brand’s MotoGP bike.

Technical mastermind Dall’Igna was installed as Ducati’s general manager at the en꧙d of 2013 as the Italian marque hit its nadir in the premier class.

In the ensuing years, Dall’Igna helped rebuild Ducati into regular podium contenders an🅠d race winners, before establishing the marque as the all-conquering force in MotoGP.

Ducati has won the last three riders’ championships, while 2024 saw it at its mosꦑt dominant, with 19 of the 20 grand prix wins going the bra꧋nd’s way.

Alex Marquez has been part of the Ducati fold since✨ joining Gresini from Honda in 2023 and explained why Dall’Igna has proven 🐲to be such an ally for riders.

“He’s a very director support for us ♌riders, and that gives us a lot of confidence,” Marquez said at a recent Estrella Galicia event.

“He’s a great help. No matter how small the problem is, he’s on top🌳 of it, and then he sends the people you need.

“You’re given a lot of ref🎶erences ൩regarding the problems of the brand team-mates or the tyres used.

“They make the most of e♐ve🥂rything that others have done.

“They don’t come and tell you what to do, but they give you the information to understand what’s working with 😼others. Then it’s up to each person, with their crew chief, to decide their own way.”

Ducati presence on the 2025 MotoGP grid has been reduced from eight bikes to six, following Pra🅠ma▨c’s decision to join Yamaha from next year.

Only three factory GP25s will be fielded too for Francesco Bagnaia, Marc Marquez and VR46 rider Fabio Di Giann✃antonio.

Alex Marquez will take on a GP24 alongside 🌜Fermin Aldeguer at Gresini and Franco Morbidelli at VR46.

Dall’Igna recently said that the reduction in bikes won’t cause a big problem for Ducati, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:but admitted the stronger line-ups at rival manufacturers will pose more of a ♚headach꧒e in 2025.
