Gigi Dall’Igna congratulates Johann Zarco, applauds Marc Marquez and rallies behind Francesco Bagnaia.
“Ducati entered the French MotoGP weekend as favorites to break Honda’s 22-win streak from 1997-1998, but the chaotic race on Sunday with Marquez finishing second to Zarco halted their ambition.
Ducati’s General Manager, Gigi Dall’Igna, described the turbulent race as unpredictable, emphasizing the weather changes, bike swaps, and crashes, stating it was better watched than commented on.
Despite the defeat, Dall’Igna praised Zarco for his well-deserved win and congratulated him for his impressive performance in wet conditions.
Marquez’s strategic decision to secure second place rather than pushing for the win earned him praise as he managed the challenging race like a true champion.
Bagnaia faced ‘great disappointment’ with his first DNF of the season after crashing in the Sprint race due to a mistake by his former teammate Bastianini.
Dall’Igna noted Aldeguer’s breakthrough weekend with his first two MotoGP podiums, praising the rookie’s performance and expressing belief in his potential for future success.”
