The Pramac Ducati troops made their presentation with great fanfare. And on their fairing, the mention of the Lamborghini automobile brand recalls the pride of place of this satellite team of a Ducati factory itself supported by Audi sport. A manufacturer which is the owner of the sports car brand and the Borgo Panigale factory. The Pramac structure is thus dubbed in the family! It is also a talent incubator for the reds. Miller et bagnaia will have to take advantage of it.
And they won't be shy about doing it. But each in their own way. Francesco Guidotti, director of the Pramac team, points out that between the Australian and the Italian, the difference in approach and personality is particularly marked.
« You have completely different personalities Says Guidotti. “ Jack is a very tough person who you can get angry with, yes, arguments with, and he has undeniable talent. On the other hand, Bagnaia is a rather calm character. To get to know him better, we have to wait for the races. It will also undoubtedly have its moments. So far we have worked very well with both ».
The passion is therefore in the Pramac box. It must also be said that the two drivers will not have much time to prove themselves… “ This is a crucial season for Jack. He owns the factory bike for the first time. This is a new situation for him. It will get the best possible support to achieve the result that the factory machine deserves ».
Et bagnaia ? " He is Moto2 champion and the best rookie we could have had “, declared the Italian. “ He has already shown respectable pace on the track and, of course, he will learn from race to race to manage the tires and understand the performance of the bike. But we are very confident ».
It will be recalled that this duo will want to position themselves at Ducati in order to seek the position of team member of Dovizioso from 2020, since Danilo Petrucci only has a one year contract...
