When Marc Marquez evaluated the 2022 season – of which he could only be a privileged spectator due to his condition and that of his Honda – by highlighting a rider, Fabio Quartararo, and a machine, Ducati, he royally forgotten the case of the one who was nevertheless titled, Pecco Bagnaia. The latter noted this and interpreted this omission as a strategy consisting of already increasing the pressure for the next season. A 2023 campaign that Red Army team manager Davide Tardozzi is already thinking about, and in a way that would almost come close to that of the eight-time world champion. Except for one detail…
Davide Tardozzi is an authentic enthusiast who therefore exercises exactly the profession for which he is made in an environment that he knows like the back of his hand. He is at such a point of involvement that the winter break would be almost torture for him... We read about him on Mowmag : " How long will I spend in this break before I get bored? Well, I already miss racing now, I can't wait to be in Malaysia ". And he has always engraved in his mind this moment which is now more than a month old: “ when Pecco crossed the finish line… I mean, for us, winning the MotoGP World Championship after finishing second so many times was the realization of a dream, a liberation ».
Davide Tardozzi Ducati: “ we have two top-class attackers who we are very happy with«
So, as he is still on the go and it is only the competition that interests him, he was asked his opinion on 2023… “ Marc Marquez and Fabio Quartararo are both very strong, it's hard to say. It will also depend on who, between Yamaha and Honda, will improve the bike the most, because these drivers are absolutely champions » he said. “ We will have to understand who will have the best motorcycle » he adds before making this mention: “ certainly their talent will be enough for them to be competitive and cause us problems ».
An assessment that would almost come close to Marc Marquez and which positions more Pecco Bagnaia like the passenger of his Ducati as its pilot. However, Tardozzi recovers: “ but we are happy: Enea Bastianini and Pecco Bagnaia will be a very strong team and I think that as strong as Marquez is with the Honda and Quartararo with the Yamaha, we have two top-class attackers who we are very happy with ". All that remains is to manage this explosive Italian duo well. Precisely, it is the job of Davide Tardozzi...
