Morbidelli: This is what makes Ducati ‘the best’
Morbidelli’s performance at Petronas Yamaha was not replicated when he joined the factory Monster team to replace Maverick Vinales in 2021. Despite being closer to his teammate Fabio Quartararo this season, Yamaha decided a change would be better and signed Alex Rins for 2024. Morbidelli was then tipped for a satellite Ducati seat, but when Marco Bezzecchi turned down a factory bike at Pramac, Morbidelli became the front-runner for the Prima-backed ride. Morbidelli acknowledges the impressive performance of the Ducati Desmosedici, which has dominated the top three positions in the world championship and won 22 out of the 28 races so far this season. Ducati is strong in every aspect, extracting the maximum from the tires, aerodynamics, electronics, and chassis. While other brands may have strengths in certain areas, Ducati remains the overall best. The remaining race wins this year have been divided between Aprilia, KTM, and Honda. Ducati also boasts more grid numbers compared to other manufacturers.
