The impressive progress of Yamaha can serve as a reminder to fresh MotoGP riders that their hopes do not re✃ly upon riding a Ducati.

Ducati has been the dominant manufacturer in MotoGP since half-way through the title defence of Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo in 2023.

Ducati riders controlled last year’s championship battle and occupy the top four spots in the current 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:MotoGP standings.

But Quart💯araro’s thr꧅ee consecutive pole positions caught the eye because it proves Yamaha’s project is moving in the right direction.

And the Japanese manufacturer have been backed to continue improving, making 🗹their bike coveted for new🔴 riders entering MotoGP.

“They’ve got the concessions, haven’t they. Just imagine if they didn’t have the concessions – they’d be nowhere near,” TNT Sports’ 🌱Neil Hodgson told wuqian0821.com.

“But they tested [last] week in Misano. Imagine if Ducati right now ꦿhad that opportunity to be testing with their main riders, different engine specs, being able to play with aero – think how far ahead they’d be.

“I think it’s easy to forget that. Obꦯviously we’re applauding the Japanese manufacturꦰers for closing that gap, but they’ve been given the opportunity.

“So, obviously I’m impressed that they are doing that; I’m moꦿre impressed with Dorna to say ‘We need a show.’

♍“Nobody wants to see one manufacturer completely dominating, so it’s really positive. There’ll be more steps next year, then we’ve got rule changes.

“Now, if you’re a rider com🌜ing into MotoGP, thankfully there are options with other manufacturers, whereas two years ago you’d be like ‘I need to get on a Ducati or I’m not going to win.’”

MotoGP 'in fine health' after non-Ducati wins

D🎃ucati’s stranglehold over the best bike and the best riders cannot last forever, though.

“That’s𒀰 what we’ve learned over ♓the years,” Hodgson said.

“Think about Ducati: they won a World Championship with Casey Stoner, then it took them until 2022 with Pecco. It’s a lot 𓃲of years. But it always goes around in cycles.”

ﷺSatellite teams ꦺoutside of the Ducati clan have been able to enjoy their moment this year too.

Joha𝕴nn Zarco won the French MotoGP representing LCR Honda, while Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi edged Yamaha’s Quartararo to win at Silverstone.

“To see the likes of that, as well: a private t🌄eam like LCR winning races and in contention. Th꧃e championship is in fine health at the moment,” Michael Laverty told wuqian0821.com.

“I think you’ve got the MSMA and Dorna, and everyone w𓆏ho facilitated that, but also the likes of Ducati who could’ve vetoed it completely and stopped the concessions.

“But they didn’t, they wanted competition, they wanted show, they wanted something that a global audience wants to tune intꦚo on a Sunday, not a par♏ade of six Ducatis out front.

“So, fair pl꧅ay to everyone involved to turn the championship around and make Honda and Yamaha competitive again – and obviously they’ve had to invest millions to do so as well.”
