Be careful, the reds announce the color! He's even the big boss of Ducati, Claudio Domenicali which warns: after two years finished in second place in the MotoGP championship, it is time to climb to first. In 2019, riders will have the means to do so with a bike already announced as very competitive…
It would seem that the work accomplished over the last few years by Gigi Dall'Igna be able to be at its peak this year. We would be tempted to believe it given the evolution of the Ducati over the last two seasons. Including the last, where two drivers shared seven victories on different tracks. Proof that the Desmosedici can play leading roles anywhere and with anyone on it.
But to make all this happen, you finally need a crown. And this must come in 2019. At least this is the roadmap drawn up by Claudio Domenicali, the big boss of Ducati… “ For this year, I see no other option than to move up one place compared to the other two years. » he admits on GPone.
He even specifies the means to achieve this… “ The team is working hard in Borgo Panigale on the 2019 version of the Desmosedici. It will be something new with things that will make it faster. What are the solutions ? You should ask Gigi Dall'Ina that, but nothing is less certain that he will answer you. I can simply tell you that our official riders will have an evolution of last year's machine, but much more competitive ».
Enthusiastic, however, he does not get excited: “ we were happy with what we had in 2018, and we know we have to be very careful. In MotoGP, the level is so much higher that it is easier to regress than to progress. That's why we listen carefully to the drivers and move forward in small steps. But we always move forward ».
The presentation of the 2019 version Ducati troops will take place on January 18. Paolo ciabatti had already announced that 2019 would be the year of titles. Including in Superbike!
