Ducati’s third MotoGP rider’s title in a row, won by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin at Barcelona ꦦon Sunday, was surely a bitte𝔉rsweet experience.

While Ducati ‘won’ with Martin and the Pramac team, they also lost with reigning champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia and the factory Lenovo squad.

Making matters more complicated, Martin was turned down by Ducati as Bagnaia’s team-mate next season in favour of Marc Marquez, sending Martin - and now almost certainly the #1 plate - straight into the arms o🅠f Aprilia.

To Ducati’s cred💦it, and against the expectation of many, they continued to support Martin’s title challenge against Bagnaia equally to the very end. 

That included a halt on further technical upgrades, notably a 2025 chassis liked by Bag❀naia at the 🐲Misano test, to avoid influencing the rider battle.

Indeed, of the two, it was Bagnaia (at Le Mans) who suffered a terminal technical problem in 🎐a race.

But it will be the Italian’s seven other non-scores, plus two other races where he managed just 1 or 2 points, that will weigh most 🌟heavily over the winter – after a season where Bagnaia won eleven grands prix, seven sprints and still finished ten points short of Martin.

Dall’Igna’s first words were for Martin, a rider he plucked from the arms of KTM in the Moto2 category for a Desmosedici debut in🔜 2021.

Martin has been with Pramac ever since, winning eight grands prix, finishing runner-up to Bagnaia ꧋last season, then becoming the first satellite world champion 🐟of the MotoGP era.

Dall’Igna described Martin’s season as ‘near perf𝔉ect’.

“As easy as it may have looke💎d on paper, Jorge (Martín) did a wonderful job in keeping it together and bring the title home after what was a near pe✅rfect season,” Dall’Igna said.

“I’d like to congratulate him and thank him for taking 🔴a Desmosedici GP to the ultimate goal once again.”

Turning to his own defeated cha✅mpion, Dall’Igna hinted at the mi൩ssed opportunities this season, but added “this is the beauty of racing”:

“Pecco’s numbers have been fantastic this year and his tal📖ent is unquest🅷ionable: unfortunately, things sometimes don’t go as we’d liked, and results are never a given, but this is the beauty of racing,”

Ducati i༺s not only bidding farewell to Martin and Bagnaia’s team-mate Enea Bastianini, but the Pramac team, which is switching to Yamaha from 2025.

“I’d also like to thank Enea for these two seasons together, and I’m happy he was able to get back to display all his pot🅰ential once again, after what surely wasn’t an easy 2024,” Dall’Igna said.

Praising the Pramac partnership, Dall’Igna added: “Today’s victory is a𒀰lso, or rather above all, the best way to say goodbye to Pramac Racing, a formidable group of professionals with whom we have worked in harmony for 20 years:ꦛ To each of them a very strong hug, starting with our friend Paolo Campinoti.

“2024 was a stratospheri🦩c year for Ducati, in which we broke the record for victories and the record for podiums, with the cherry on top of having placed 8 Desmosedici GP in front of everyone in the Sprint Race in Thailand.

“I want to thank♛ all the men and women of Ducati Corse who work hard and with passion every day to achieve great results like the one we are celebrating today. Forza Ducati!”

Marc Marquez will make his factory Ducati debuꦑ𒐪t alongside Bagnaia at Tuesday’s post-race test.

“Now it is time to celebrate, before starting preparations for the new season, with the goal to continue to improve ꩲand remain as the reference point constructors-wise in MotoGP," Dall’Igna concluded.
