P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Jorge Lorenzo won three races with Ducati but failed to bring them the MotoGP championship.
The three-time champion joined Ducati on a high-paying contract, but his two-year stint with the Italian manufacturer did not yield the desired results. During this period, Ducati endured a 15-year winless drought until Francesco Bagnaia’s victory in 2022. Lorenzo acknowledges that the current Desmosedici is unquestionably the superior bike on the grid, and wonders how he would have performed on it. He recalls winning three out of five or six races in 2018 with Ducati, albeit without Marc Marquez on the track. However, Lorenzo believes it is pointless to assume how things could have turned out differently. He chose to switch to Ducati because he had faith in Gigi Dall’Igna’s abilities as an engineer to eventually create the best bike, although it came too late for him. Ultimately, Dall’Igna succeeded in leading Ducati to a world championship title.
