The life of the satellite teams is a little less peaceful since the MotoGP field is made up of six manufacturers. Suzuki, KTM and Aprilia are looking for an ally on the elite starting grid and it is the team Tech3 who started the game of dominoes by signing with the Mattighofen factory. A movement resembling a butterfly effect since two Yamahas found themselves orphaned while Suzuki made known its intentions to field two more GSX-RRs. Meanwhile, the Belgians Marc VDS assure that they will end their collaboration with Honda. An agitation which, however, does not disturb the serenity of the Ducati clan.
It is therefore in a restricted circle that the maneuvers take place. Because, in 2019, there will in all likelihood be eight Desmosedici again on the MotoGP grid. The Avintia contract is on track and within the Angel Nieto team, formerly Aspar, we confirm with the man on the ground Gino Borsoi : " we are close to an agreement » confirms the person concerned on crash.net. " We have no reason to change manufacturer » specifies the one who, all the same, tried to probe Yamaha and Suzuki, without success.
« We spoke with Ducati in Jerez, and we agree to continue together ". That being said, there are variations… “ Our idea is to have two GP18s. It's better to have two identical motorcycles when looking for the best tune-up ". And he speaks from experience with a Baptist in GP17 alongside which a Abraham in GP16. The latter, by the way, has something to worry about… “ Our goal for 2019 is to have a young driver. And for that, we are looking towards Moto2 ».
