At Ducati, the year 2021 will be that of renewal or it will not be. At the end of a period as interesting as it was disappointing and marked by a conflictual relationship between the boss Gigi Dall'Igna and her pilot Dovizioso, a tension now admitted by the latter who left the scene, it is time to write a new chapter with young people. In the official team, Jack Miller and Pecco Bagnaia will be the spearhead of the Borgo Panigale factory. None have driven a Desmosedici to victory or even experienced success on a dry track in MotoGP…
Ducati is betting big in this 2021 season with a renewed workforce and a lowered average age. With his 30 years, Johann zarco looks like an elder. And within the official structure, we set our sights on the two drivers trained within the Pramac satellite team, in this case Jack Miller et Pecco Bagnaia.
New riders but also new Ducati?
According to the site Motorsport.com, we should see this new duo in red from 9 February next time, in a month and just before flying to Malaysia and the test Sepang which will launch the 2021 offseason. A revelation that will be made via the web, due to the health crisis. Incidentally, for the moment this is the first team to present itself among the six factories involved. We will also examine with interest what the new Desmosedici opus will look like in the context of a technical freeze decided until 2022…
In 2020, Dovizioso et Petrucci had complained about the poor adaptation of the Ducati to the new Michelin rear tire, which apparently suffered less Johann zarco, it is true to the virgin experience of the Desmosedici. In addition to the Frenchman and the two officials, Jorge Martin, Luca Marini et Enea Bastianini, straight from Moto2, will be strong Ducati.
