This start of the season is rich in emotions for the boss of Ducati, Claudio Domenicali. The latter, for example, became angry during the attack against his men in red materialized by a complaint which mobilized even the FIM appeal tribunal. A court which ruled in his favor so much so that he became relieved. Here he is now under the effect of a divine surprise: that of seeing his brand leading both the MotoGP championship and the general classification of the World Superbike.
The Borgo Panigale factory announced this winter that 2019 would be its season. But maybe she didn't think she'd realize it so quickly. The hostilities have only just begun, and here Ducati is at the top of the two circuit speed championships. A situation which obviously could not leave the CEO indifferent Claudio Domenicali.
A waking dream commented on by the person concerned: “ objectively, we did not expect to lead the MotoGP World Championship after Argentina and Austin. These are two very tedious tracks, for Ducati and Dovi. We can say that we limited the damage – and we were also lucky, to be completely honest “, he summarized in the video interview with “GPone.com”.
« As for the World Superbike Championship, we were hoping to have a competitive bike and a competitive rider with Álvaro, but Johnny Rea and the bike that won the title for the last four years always presented themselves as a competitive duo, a strong combination who is hard to beat ", said Sundays. “ How Bautista would adapt was very difficult to predict. We're a little surprised, in both cases », admitted the Italian. Incidentally, the two drivers who lead the two general classifications are managed by the same person: Simone Battistella.
