MotoGP: Jack Miller talks about how things are going at Ducati now…

The deadline for the first Grand Prix of the MotoGP season at Qatar approach. The troops are now in battle order to embark on a 2019 campaign which promises to be very indecisive. To cope, we chose at Ducati to close ranks around the sole Andrea Dovizioso. The other Ducati riders will have to spare him on the track and serve him in the box. A strategy that goes far as explained Jack Miller...

The Australian will have within his Pramac team a GP19 identical to that of the two official drivers. He will be the teammate of a bagnaia who, although a beginner and with a GP18, will not let himself be counted out. If he can go and tease a Petrucci of which he will have the right to contest his red suit for 2020, he will have to show many precautions in case he finds himself in the vicinity of a DesmoDovi designated general in chief.

A status whose consequences are quite extensive. The compatriot of Stoner explains thus on Trademarks : " Danilo Petrucci and I are sort of seen by Ducati as intermediate points between the test team and Dovizioso. He can use us as elements of validation of parts and developments approved by the test team. It's a close relationship. Pirro tries the pieces, then they come to us for testing. And if it works, they are taken by the official team ».

A discipline which will undoubtedly be an added value in the evolution of Desmosedici. Ducati will have no less than six motorcycles on the track in 2019. Three GP19s and three GP18s.
