Between Italians, in MotoGP, we can put aside our "Italianness" identity to clash in the public square on a sensitive subject, like the eight Ducatis that Gigi Dall'Igna was able to put on the starting grid. A situation that Massimo Rivola deplores, in the name of his Aprilia brand, where the man from Borgo Panigale comes from and revealed himself before becoming the essential that we know at the top of the Ducati Corse hierarchy. The boss of the Noale coat of arms competition shot this arrow which returned to him with momentum…
To Massimo rivola, it is downright bad for the championship to see eight Ducati on the starting grid, while recognizing the merit of his compatriots in being able to support this war effort which would exhaust his own ranks. But a criticism is a criticism and it deserves a response. Gigi Dall'Igna therefore responded…
Gigi Dall’Igna: “ I have won more than fifty titles in my career, most of them with Aprilia, and I don't want to stop there »
To Gigi Dall'Igna, who are " those who criticize us today are those who, in the past, had satellite teams that they saw only as a source of income he recalls. " I did things differently, by integrating our satellite teams into our work system, by transforming them into real partners ».
The engineer nevertheless specifies that the success of Borgo Panigale does not lie only in the number of motorcycles on the track. For Gigi Dall'IgnaAmong Ducati, they simply worked “ better than others ". And he mentions on motosan : " our detractors would do well to talk less and get to work ". Then he concludes, recalling his origins… “ I have won more than fifty titles in my career, most of them with Aprilia, and I don't want to stop there. I hate finishing second ».
