Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali has warned that “the gap will narrow” at the front of the f🍨ield in MotoGP after Yamaha’s Fabioꦡ Quartararo “showed his strength” at Jerez.

The Italian brand is in the midst of 🌺one of the most dominant periods ever in the premier class, having won the last three world 𓃲titles.

In 2025, it has won every sprint and grand prix so far, with its streak of Sunday victories now standing at 22 after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez took to the top step of ♛the podium at the Spanish GP.

But one streak has now been snapped for Ducati in 2025, after Yamaha’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo snatched pole from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez at Jerez.

Quartararo then went on to finish second in the grand prix and was able to keep Ducati’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia at bay.

This caught the eye of Domenicali, who has warned that theဣ competition is only going to get harder for Du🌃cati.

“This achievement is a wonderful 🦹moment,” he said in an interview with GPOne.

“I﷽t’s the fruit of work that began a long time ago, with a goo🉐d bike and strong riders.

“However🐎, this Sunday Fabio Quartararo showed his strength and that means the other manufacturers are working hard, enjoying - among other things - the concessions.

“ဣNot everyone𓆉 remembers that we’re not competing in a championship with the same rules.

“In fact, there are manufacturers🐲 who hav🦩e the opportunity to test with factory riders and develop engines, using more units.

“As a result, I think this gap will narrow, and the other manufacturers 🌠will also catch up with us.”

Concession regulations were reintrod𝔉uced for the 2024 season to allow Yamaha and Honda to try to get back up the order.

But🌟 since the start of 2024, Ducati has only be🙈en beaten once by a manufacturer - Aprilia, at last year’s Americas Grand Prix.

Quartararo’s podium at Jerez marked the first for Yamaha since the 2023 Indonesian GP, which was also th𒊎e last rostrum appearance for a Japanese bike until last weekend.

In recent rounds Honda has also enjoyed an upturn in form, with Johann Zarc💎o scoring the marque’s first top five resul💧ts since 2023.

In Qatar, Ducati was briefly ch🐈allenged by KTM’s Maverick Vinales, who led for a handful of laps and took the chequered flag in second before being demoted to 14th by a tyre pressure penalty.
