Responding to a question from Pedro Acosta, Pecco Bagnaia has pointed out that Ducati has already refused to interfere in his current MotoGP title battle against Jorge Martin.
MotoGP champion Pecco Bagnaia has stated that Ducati had the opportunity to sway the 2024 title battle in his favor but chose not to do so. Bagnaia, representing the Ducati works team, is in a head-to-head competition with satellite Ducati rider Jorge Martin for the championship. Ducati has more incentive to see Bagnaia win as Martin will move to Aprilia next year and may carry the number one plate. The debate over possible Ducati interference was fueled by a move made by Bagnaia’s teammate, Enea Bastianini, at Misano. Tech3 Gas Gas rider Pedro Acosta added more interest by raising the issue of Ducati involvement in the championship. Despite speculation, Bagnaia clarified that Ducati maintains a strategy of equality among its factory teams and does not anticipate any changes for the season finale in Valencia.
