P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Desmosedici riders took ‘a lot of punches’ at the British MotoGP, but Fabio di Giannantonio warns “everybody knows Ducati will be back fighting for the next one.”
After ending their streak of 22 consecutive grand prix wins at Le Mans, Ducati faced their second consecutive defeat in the British MotoGP this past Sunday.
Had Fabio Quartararo not retired from the lead, Ducati riders might not have even made it to the Silverstone podium.
Fortunately for title leader Marc Marquez, Quartararo’s misfortune allowed him to finish in third place behind Aprilia’s Marco Bezzecchi and Honda’s Johann Zarco.
Despite crashing along with his brother Alex during the original start, Marc was given another chance due to red flags and ultimately secured a third-place finish, 5.9 seconds behind the race winner.
Fermin Aldeguer and Fabio di Giannantonio finished in ninth and tenth place respectively, while Francesco Bagnaia suffered a crash during the race.
Di Giannantonio acknowledged that the Ducati team faced challenges during the unpredictable race, but remains confident in their ability to bounce back in future events.
