The Italian is the brand’s biggest star since Casey Stonerthe man who gave them the first title of MotoGP and that he could tame a machine in those very wild times. Too much for almost everyone except him. The Australian won the title dressed in red in 2007when it took a brave man and a genius to make the game competitive. Ducati. It was another era, where Japanese motorcycles and motorcycles dominated. BorgoPanigale they were too much of a ship small and artisanal to always be on top.
Things have turned around radically: now It’s the Japanese who are on the ground and the Ducati that monopolizes the top positions again and again. In it Thailand Sprintthe eight motorcycles they have on the track occupied the first eight positions, in case there was any doubt as to which machine is the one that works. Bagnaia is the perfect complement right now for Ducati and the numbers confirm it. In it Chang International Circuit became the pilot in the entire history of the Italian brand with more signed poles. In Thailand he made number 22 with a time never seen before on that track and left Casey Stoner behind, who stayed at 21.
In victories, it has not been long since Pecco has also been able to beat the “Aussie”: Pecco now has 26 for Casey’s 23 and the same thing happens on podiums, with 47 for Bagnaia and 42 for Stoner. Nobody knows what the Australian would have done with this motorcycle and he doesn’t ask himself, because at a very young age he decided to retire and watch the Moto GP World Championship from a long distance, without nostalgia.
The question that will be answered next year is if Marc Márquez can dethrone Pecco with the same motorcycle. Both are going to have the Ducati 25 next year and the duel is going to be hot. Now, the “93” does not have the black leg version and in Thailand the advantage of the official motorcycle is being noticed.
