Ducati boss identifies the key attribute which will decide MotoGP championship

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia is top of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings, 27 points ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin and 73 points ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marco Bezzecchi.
All three have shone - and have ♕made mistakes - at various points this season but the decisive attribute which will decide the championship has been identified by Davide Tardozzi.
The factory Ducati team manager said: “Pecco did a fantastic🌠 job this year but obviously it’s not enough, because Jorge is there. Marco still has the possibility to win the championship.
“It will be very important to maintain a ‘brain’ attitude. The mental attꦍitude will be the key point until the end of the championship.”
Last year Bagnaia was trailing Fabio Quartararo until the final round, where he pinched a histor☂ic title, Ducati’s first in 15 years.
“H♓e was in a different position last year, behind Fabio,” said Tardozzi. “It helps to have the experience of last year.
“He proved 𒉰that by managing the past two races, he was in trouble on Friday and Saturday but performed very well on Sunday.
“It’s true that he’s made some mistakes. He knows why. He made four, becau𓄧se one was not his fault, in France.
“He has more consiไderation of himself, he trusts himself and his capability.
“His relationship with his race engineer is close, it’s a key point 💫on what he shows from Satu🐬rday to Sunday.
“He proved that he can change men⭕tality and attitude and speed from one day to th🎃e other, and that’s something that only belongs to champions.”
Tardozzi agr♍eed with Bagnaia’s claim that Martin benefits from an equal-spec bike but less pressure because it’s not an official machine: “It’s something well known, that when you’re in the factory seat, your only goal is to win the championship.
“I think Jor𒐪ge is fast, he has a directꦕ contract with Ducati.
“It’s true that he has less pressure but it’s not his attitude to be second. It’s true what Pecco said, that in t💮he factory team there is more pressure. But he’s able toไ handle it.”
Tardozzi warned♒ that the battle will go until the last day: “Yes, it will be decided in Valencia. The three guys are very fast."
Martin 'has something more for fighting'

Pramac team manager Gino Borsoi said: “We are ♏ready for fighting.
“We need to improve small things which can𝓰 help us. The rider is there, the bike is there, we receive help from Ducati.”
He reacted to the incorrect tyre decision which cost Ma⛎rtin in Aus🥂tralia: “I cannot say it was a wrong decision. It was our decision.
“The decision was the sof🌳t tyre to ma🐈ke a gap and go away from the group. When you’re fighting for the race and you’re in the group, sometimes you lose your chance. It was unlucky, we lost the race with eight corners to go.”
Borsoi claimed that Martin is motivated by b💞eing overlooked last year for a factory Ducati seat.
“For sure,” he said. “Now he has something more for fighti🔯ng. He’s not on the factory team but he has an incredible team.
“We don’t miss anything. The motivation is there, even more than last season. We want to 🥀show that the rider is fast and the team is good enough.”
Pablo Nieto, VR46 team manager, knows Bezzecchi is an outs🐎ider for the title: “You never know. There’s still eight races, we h🌞ave to fight. Then we will see.
“We’re fighting against two factory teams. This is🐻 important for us.
“O🧜ur first year in MotoGP, we won rookie of the year with Marco. We had a podium and a pole position.
“It’s hard to fight factory bikes and teams. But we’re not missing anything. We have a good bike. We are iওmproving a lot.”
