Luca marini recognizes the challenges ahead: “ It's a shame that we couldn't give a better performance to the fans, but it will be better in the future. Our base is pretty good now, we need to continue working on the final details. Monday's tests give us a good opportunity to experiment."
Luca Marini: “ I didn't see the race, it's difficult to do it on the big screen »
Speaking of the race, he admits : " I haven't seen the race, it's difficult to do so on the big screen... But Ducati always brings something special to Mugello, their home race. It's great for Pecco, the Borgo Panigale company always pulls out the ace up its sleeve. Here, they always do double because they want to win. Congratulations to Pecco and Ducati."
Marini ends by addressing the rumors concerning Aleix Espargaró as a potential test pilot: “ I don't know if Aleix Espargaró will arrive, but he would be perfect as a test driver. He is an experienced rider, he spent many years with Aprilia and knows its secrets. If he comes, we hope he will also bring secret papers that will help our engineers. Ultimately the rider gives directions, but engineers make the bike."
Despite a difficult race, Luca marini remains focused and optimistic, with improvements on the horizon and a clear strategy to progress in the upcoming races.
