MotoGP Gigi Dall'Igna Ducati: "I have never given up on engine power in my entire life, I never will"

And four! Gigi Dall'Igna keeps the accounts and the general manager of Ducati Corse notes that his GP21s are doing well. He is also completely reassured about his technical philosophy which offended the sensitivity of Andrea Dovizioso. A dispute which also ended in divorce. The engineer always wanted more power and top speed while the driver demanded more measure to better exploit the corners. In view of what has happened in Aragon, it is clear that Gigi is not in the wrong...

Because to counter a Marc Marquez who found himself in the final laps of the Aragon Grand Prix, Pecco Bagnaia really needed the cavalry of his Desmosedici to control the assaults of the Honda struck 93. A performance so edifying that it put Gigi in ecstasy. He says thus about the first success taken by Pecco in MotoGP : " it was an incredible race and I'm very excited. Pecco was amazing! He truly produced a masterpiece, driving flawlessly and beating Marc Márquez who was in great form. This first success was really very important for Pecco and he deserves it 100%, as well as all the guys at Ducati Corse, who worked hard to achieve this victory. I am really very happy ».

There is great satisfaction in the garage Ducati because the technical choices continue to assert themselves as the right ones: “ we worked in all areas, improving the delivery both with the engine and with the electronics, especially in the first push of the throttle and in fast corners. From this point of view we have taken a step forward », underlines the general director Gigi Dall'Igna. " On the chassis side, we understood the tires a little better after the problems of 2020, we refined the good things. Today's MotoGP is made of details, we have refined the right things to progress ».

Gigi Dall’Igna: “ speed is one of the strengths« 

The performance of Pecco Bagnaia is laudable, but the four drivers played a leading role in the evolution of the Desmosedici. “ Not only the very young ones, but also Zarco and Miller who have been with us for a long time. They gave us the right feelings to understand where to improve the bike. There is a different air in our team and this helps the technicians work better ", Note Dall'Igna. The Venetian engineer finally sees the fruits of years of work and sacrifice ripen. In addition to significant investments.

Its engineering philosophy aimed at maximum power is starting to prove itself in the MotoGP project. “ I have never given up on engine power in my entire life, I don't think I ever will. This has always been my philosophy, speed is one of the strengths. Especially in racing, this can be of great help to drivers, especially on the straights. There are many systems to improve the traction of the engine, I think that to obtain the best possible compromise you have to work while preserving the power as much as possible. ". The roadmap has been in place for a long time.
