As he does every Tuesday, Gigi Dall'Igna, General Manager of Ducati Corse, gives an analysis of his riders' performances during the Grand Prix. This week, he looks back at the Indonesian Grand Prix, while also addressing a few words of praise to the Superbike team, particularly for the exploits of Alvaro Bautista and Andrea Iannone in Aragon.
Dall'Igna is full of praise for George Martin, winner of the long race on Sunday. It was a race absolutely dominated and managed by a totally inspired Martin. Unstoppable on a track where he had already shone by taking pole position. He made a brilliant start and led from the first to the last lap with a disarming superiority, " comments the director. " It had been almost four months since he had won a long race., a very significant result at this stage of the season, where every point counts double"
Concerning Francis Bagnaia, Dall'Igna salutes his incredible resilience despite a complicated start and difficult first laps: " Pecco was able to fight for third place in a race complicated by several problems. He lost important positions at the start, but He showed incredible determination to come back. He literally fought all the way to the checkered flag, as only a true champion can do in critical moments"
Gigi Dall’Igna: “ Andrea Iannone is an undeniable talent and Alvaro Bautista has written a new page in SBK »
For Enea Bastianini, Dall'Igna is both grateful for his fight and disappointed with the end of his race. After an excellent start, Enea had some uncertainties in the first laps. He then made up ground with a very solid performance, fighting for second place with Pedro Acosta. Unfortunately, he crashed with six laps to go, probably too eager to catch up with Acosta. He fought bravely but lost valuable points and the podium"
Dall'Igna also took the opportunity to congratulate his team in Superbike, in particular Alvaro Bautista who made history with a double in Aragon. Baptist wrote a new page of SBK with his 63 victories and 105 podiums, an impressive record. Congratulations to him and the Aruba.it Racing team. » He also adds a word for Andrea Iannone, who won Saturday's race, highlighting his " undeniable talent " and his contribution to the success of Ducati.
With such remarkable performances from its drivers, Gigi Dall'Igna knows that Ducati is well positioned for the end of the season, both in MotoGP than in Superbike.
