Ducati boss Davide Ta🥃rdozzi says the brand is “pretty confident” in the steps it has made with its 2025 MotoGP bike after Marc Marquez topped FP1 at Le Mans on a new chassis.

The Italian manufacturer has made a perfect start to the 2025 campaign as its bikes have won every single race held so far♒.

Its factory machines have won all five sprints and four of the first five GPs, while the GP24 in 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Marquez’s hands took victory at the Spanish GP.

Ducati brought small updates to its factory bike at the Jerez test, which i💛t has implemented for this weekend’s French Grand Prix.

The most significant is a slightly modified chassis that Mar꧂c Marquez used to top FP1 at Le Mans by almost six tenths of a second.

The frame is an evolution of theಌ 2024 chassis it continues to use, having parked the 2025 version during 🎃the pre-season to further develop it.

Marquez currently has just on🍨e of the new frames and is the only Ducati rider on it.

Speaking to the MotoGP world fꦏeed after FP1, Tardozzi said: “I think it is quite impressive, 1m30.7s at the end of the session on the same tyr💮e [from Marquez].

“I think that some things th♛at we tested in Jerez👍 worked on both sides: Pecco [Bagnaia’s] side and Marc’s side.

“S𒐪o, we are pretty confident we’ve made a good step aheadꦫ.

“It’s not big, but we know Gigi and his engine🐭ers are always working for new pace to improve the bike. We didn’t make a revolution, we make an evolution.”

Tardozzi says Ducati needs to debrief with Marquez still to understand if the updated fram⛄e is the way forward, but is ready to provide all of its factory riders if that proves to be the case.

“We’ll see. The chassis are the same, there are a few small things that are different,” he ad♌ded.

“But we will see🀅 after the debrief that we will have after the practice ꦛstart session.

“And we will s🥀ee what is the decision. But we are ready to provide everything to the rider.

“In this moment, we want to be focused on the small e🔜volution and decide what it will be for the race.”

Theoretically, this updated chassis is one that can be delivered to all of its 🅰riders if Ducati deems it worthwhile enough to 🐭produce enough for its six riders.

Tardozzi dꦓidn’t say why only Marc Marquez had the frame to try and not Bagnaia also, which wi𓆏ll only fuel speculation about the shifting dynamic within the factory team.
