“Twentieth consecutive win, and yet again a Ducati poker with a resp🌺lendent podium m🌟ade up of our three teams,” Dall’Igna began in his post-race debrief.

“A success with an intense and special feel, as great as the bitterness felt for an unexpected and “wasteful” slip, but if that's how it was supposed to go, at least Marc's m🐟istake opened the way for Pecco to make a statement tha💫t smacks of liberation, an injection of confidence that, yes, was really needed!

“He definitely was overdue for a win and aꦇ convincing race like this one, and I'm glad he managed it.

“T𓆉he irrepressible euphoria at the end says it all about his craving to make it, as well as all his desire for vindication, as shown in that daring “staccata” to overtake Alex [Marquez].

“A sweet victory that counts enoꦆrmously🐠 and boosts the morale in a most delicate moment.

“We have been able to work well, constantly improving, striving to 𒊎achieve the optimum feeling that Pecco is asking of us: my heartfelt thanks go to the team, but we must not let our guard down and, above all, we mu🔴st not be distracted by today's victory.”

De🍰spite his crash, Dall’Igna says Marc Marquez “showed his true me♚ttle” with his form at COTA and brushed the fall off as a “hiccup”.

“However,𝓰 Marc once again confirmed all his strength and showed his true m♏ettle,” he added.

“For him it is just a hiccup on one of his favourite tracks. He took the le♎ad from the green light with an immediate surge and kept an unchallenged lead until mid-race, then the mistake, probably overconfiden꧙ce being his undoing.

“This adds to the disappointment for a racܫe that was in his grasp and that he was do💝minating, but that’s the way races go.”
