The end of the 2017 MotoGP season will take place on November 12 in Valencia. A suspense which ends between the Honda official Marc Márquez and Ducati factory rider Andrea Dovizioso. But, already, the boss of the last city and the reds on the ground can be filled with the duty accomplished by starting to draw the outlines of his results for the year. Gigi Dall'Igna knows in fact that she was not expected to have such a party at the start of this exercise. While preparing for his final, he is already looking ahead to 2018 and keeping an eye on a driver: Johann Zarco…
Gigi Dall'Igna has succeeded in making Ducati the most homogeneous official team on the MotoGP grid. Indeed, while Yamaha is sinking into the doldrums and Márquez is the tree that hides the dense forest of difficulties at Honda, Ducati puts on a balanced face. A Lorenzo which is growing in power and a Dovizioso who runs the store give, for example, the Sepang double last weekend. “ We are clearly at our advantage in the rain but we also showed our speed in the dry. In both cases, we are efficient ».
On GPOne, he insists: “ finding yourself fighting for the title against Márquez until the last race is no small thing. At the start of the season, we were far from being the favorites. It’s a demonstration of solid progression throughout the year, and that’s what matters most to me. In Valencia, we have to win and we will do everything to do sohas ".
As MotoGP never stops, the lanterns of this season will barely have been extinguished before we will already have to embark on the 2018 campaign: “ during the first tests in Valencia after the Grand Prix, we will not see the GP18. There will be prototypes before defining the general configuration of the future motorcycle. Our final decision will be made during the Malaysia tests ».
Gigi Dall'Igna however, has one last word on this year 2017… “ Apart from Dovizioso, the driver who impressed me the most is definitely Johann Zarco » … The pilot described as trained on the Playstation by Jorge Lorenzo ?
