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

Technical mastermin🌳d Dall’Igna was installed as Ducati’s general manager at the end 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 contend🧸ers and race winners, before establishing the marque as the all-conquering force in MotoGP.

Ducati has won the last three riders’ championships, while 2024𓃲 saw it at its most dominant, with 19 of the 20🐟 grand prix wins going the brand’s way.

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

“He’s a very director sup꧒port for us riders, and that gives us a lot of confidence,” Marqu🦋ez 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 references regarding the problems of the brand team-ma💙tes or the tyres used.

“꧃They make th𓆉e most of everything that others have done.

“They don’t come and tell you what to do, but th✨ey 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 Pramacꦓ’s decision to join Yamaha from next year.

Only three factory GP25s will⛦ be fielded too for Francesco Bagnaia, Marc Marquez and VR46 ri🌟der Fabio Di Giannantonio.

Alex Marquez will take on a GP24 alongside Fermin♔ Aldeguer at Gr💛esini and Franco Morbidelli at VR46.

Dall’Igna recently said that the reduction in bikes won’t cause a big problem for Ducati, 168澳洲幸运5ౠ官方开奖结果历史:but admitted the stronger line-ups at rival✤ manu🌠facturers will pose more of a headache in 2025.
