MotoGP, Ducati: Gigi Dall'Igna is satisfied with Johann Zarco but not with Michelin tires

After working in Malaysia on his Desmosedici, Gigi Dall'Igna treated himself to a WSBK parenthesis during the presentation of the Ducati troops who will compete in this category this season with the Panigale V4 R. But Sepang was still in the spirit so that Gigi shared a new assessment of these three days of Malaysian testing where the French, with Michelin and Johann Zarco, played a role in the progress of the Italians...

Gigi Dall'Igna came back from Sepang with a head full of ideas, and, above all, a deep reflection on how to solve the new equation Michelin . We will indeed recall that the single manufacturer will make available a new rear tire which has not received all the votes among the GP20 drivers, far from it... " The new tires probably penalized us and Honda, but I believe that already in the tests we managed to understand several things » comments Gigi.

« With some configuration changes we can improve. We have ideas to implement in future tests, and I remain confident. In Qatar we will bring a different swingarm, but for the rest it comes down to details, which are, however, very important in modern MotoGP. »

Dall'Igna also returns to another tricolor product, which is none other than Johann zarco. The double Moto2 World Champion will ride in 2020 on a GP19 from the Avintia satellite team: “ Zarco performed the first day doing a slightly different job. With it, we experienced a completely different setup of our basis for information gathering. Then we must consider that it was his first contact with Ducati, having missed the Valencia and Jerez tests. So I didn't expect anything more from him. In fact, I'm happy with the attitude he had. There's definitely work to be done, but I'm pretty confident » finishes the Italian.
