Gigi Dall’I♐gna insists “we can't play dirty” when asked about team orders within Ducati.

The Italian manufacturer’s eight bikes on the 2024 MotoGP grid (doubl💖e the amount of the Aprilias, KTMs and Hondas) plus the superiority of the Desmosedici means that team ord✃ers is a constant source of intrigue.

Last year, Ducati had three riders vying for the championship (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jorge Martin and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi).

The brand’s chiefs were constantly asked if they preferred a factory rider to become champion - a subject which could become more prick🔥ly this season with the addition of Marc Marཧquez at Gresini.

Asked if Ducati riders could follow established orders, general manager Dall’Igna 𓆏replied to : “This is a sport, which means we have to act in a sporting way and we can't play dirty.

“This is the basis of my philosophy.

“To play di💫rty would be to limit the 💜performance of a bike to prevent a rider from winning.

“𓂃Jorge Martin had all the cards to ♓fight for the title last year, right to the end. No strange moves.

“That's plaܫying fair, playing the sport c﷽orrectly.”

And in the 2022 season, then-Gresini rider Enea Bastianini was able to 🙈fight factory rider and eventual champion Bagnaia wheel-to-wheel at several late r🔥ounds.

But in both seasons it h𒈔as been Bagnaia who tꦍriumphed as champion.

His supremacy may be challenged by Marquez who will ride a year-old Ducati at hisꦦ new team, but has been tipped to challenge for the title by many people within the paddock.

Dall’Igna was asked if more pꦚeople would credit Marquez, rather than the bike that he has built for Ducati.

“My goal is to win, and I have 🧸to t💦ry to make Ducati do it for as long as possible,” he replied.

“That is the goal in my job. I am not egocentric💫 in that sense.

“I don't see only Ducati winning, but winningꦜ together with the ri🦩der and the team. We are a team.

“I have never considered whether the rider or the bike is mo🏅re important.

“The only thing that counts꧂ is that, at the end of the season, whoever wins the most important title will be ⛎on a Ducati.”

The new concessions rules this year 🐻- which will prohibit Ducati✃ as last year’s most dominant team - could level the playing field and see additional challengers emerge.
