Pecco Bagnaia and Enea Bastianini agree that a year-old Ducati will soon win a MotoGP race.

Marc Marquez is the notable leader of the GP23 riders, and has🎐 come closest to victory so far🐓.

Gresini teammate Alex Marquez and VR46 duo Fabio di Giannantonio and Marco Bezzecchi alsꩵo ride the year-old versions of the bike.

“I think the win f🐈rom a '23 bike will come soon,” Bagnaia told .

“But right now the le🥀vel is very high, with the new tyres it's very high again and [GP24 riders] are doing a very special job.

“We are not just here, we are not three slow riders, just we are doing a very excellent job.🍬”

His fact𝄹ory Ducati teammate Bastianini added: “I agree with Pecco.

“I remember last year it was important to bring some time, to do some modification on theꩲ bike was diff🍎erent compared to [his bike with Gresini in 2022].

“But the '23 bike for me compared to '24 is so similar and🌞 well, for me this did not change a lot.

“Like you say, Pecco, probably the '23 bike can win in the fut🌟ure.

“Bu𓄧t the problem is the level [of riders on the factory-spec bike].

“We are really close and Marc for the moment is much faster with th꧒e '23 bike.

“But for the differenc🔯e, for me, it’s not really a big one.”

Jorge Martin, riding a factory-spec machine with Pramac, added: “I thought [at Mugello] the '23 will have b🅘een more competitive.

“Because last year, in the changes of direction, I was stro🧸nger than 🐻this season.

“So this year I struggled quite a lot more with t🌺he '24 than last year wi𓄧th the '23.

💙“Now it's difficult to say but they are so similar.🤡”

Last year, the old version of the Ducati was a reg🥃ular grand prix winner.

VR46’s Bezzecchi fought for the title on a 2023-spec machine, while then-Gre𝓡sini rider Di Giannantonio also won a race.

A🀅lex Marquez won two sprints last season on the GP23,💝 too.
