The blow didn't go far this year, but the target was still not reached despite all the self-sacrifice of a talent finally revealed at Andrea Dovizioso. At Ducati, we are divided between the satisfaction of a great season marked by six achievements and the disappointment of a lost duel against Marc Márquez. But among the reds, there is still this certainty: the chassis remains a problem...
And it’s the boss on the ground himself who says it. Gigi Dall'Igna is not the man of wooden language: “ the bike will have to run better. I'm not saying that we will be able to resolve this because our bike also has other qualities. Our bike is not bad, but in the corners it is not great. If we can resolve this, we will be competitive in every race ».
« The Desmosedici has good points and strong points, but at the top point, we have some difficulties. We thought about solutions tested in Jerez and Valencia. We are working on all aspects, including the engine and electronics. We are suffering a lot on two circuits in particular. The chassis remains our major problem, and something needs to be done ».
With that, the Italian ends with a Jorge Lorenzo to whom he gives a good point: “ I'm happy with the technical feedback he gave us throughout this season. We owe much of the development seen this year to him. His contribution, from this point of view, was very important ". It will be recalled that since the appearance of the new GP17 fairing in Brno, the Majorcan has never let go of it. Instead of Dovizioso.
