Ducati has a spectacular trio of riders who could all win the 2024 title, but it’s more likely to be their errors – which are stacking up already – that decides the outcome of the epic battle
The 2024 MotoGP season is living up to its promise with an intense competition between Ducati riders Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin, with Marc Marquez also in the mix. The battle resembles the ‘big three’ era of World Superbike, but with more evenly matched equipment. Contrary to the WSBK era known for dogfights, MotoGP’s title race is defined by small point differentials due to mistakes. Martin’s lead was diminished after crashing out of the lead in Jerez, solidifying the pattern of errors in the championship. Each contender has had their share of setbacks, with points being dropped consistently. Despite the competitive nature of the races, the top riders are struggling to capitalize on their rivals’ misfortunes, creating a thrilling and unpredictable season.
