In the case of Yamaha team-mates Valentino Rossꦓi and Jorge Lorenzo in 2010, the factory stopped direct data sharing between the two sides of the garage, with only Yamaha engineers able to pool the data.

But there will be no such restrictions in 🐠data sharing during the current title fight be▨tween Ducati Lenovo’s Francesco Bagnaia and Pramac Ducati’s Jorge Martin.

“It was always like this and it will be like this alw🦋ays,” said Bagnaia whose data, as reigning world champion and current titꦅle leader, has probably been studied more than any other Ducati rider in recent years.

“[Jorge]𓃲 can 𒉰see my data when I'm faster, I can see his data when he’s faster. So for me it's the same.”

Martin recently admitted he would prefer not to share data with the ♏other Desmosedicis but accepts that it’s a fair process and the same for e♎veryone.

“I guess he [Bagnaia] ⛦knows exactly my setup [by now anyway] because I almost never changไe it!” said Martin.

“But yeah, it's already like this.

“For sure battling for 🍸a championship is not ea🌱sy, when you know your rival is looking at your data. But I am also looking at his. So let's try to take the most out of it.”

B♉agnaia added that the difference in their riding styles means what works for one rider won’t necessarily help ꧃another.

“The good thing is that we ride in different ways, so it's also different to compare sꦺometimes,” he said.

Bagnaia takes a 14-point title lead over Marꦇtin into this w🐬eekend’s penultimate Qatar round.
