Paolo Ciabatti is a sports director at Ducati who takes his duties to heart. Because the Borgo Panigale brand is not only involved in MotoGP. She is also an essential actress in the Superbike paddock in the generic sense of the term. A hold which will be even greater this season since the Italians will also be in Supersport thanks to a new regulation bringing in its Panigale V2... Which runs in the United States. The Italian went to see the event on site, reminding us why MotoGP deserved to be the best motorsport World Championship…
The sporting director of Ducati Corse, Paolo Ciabatti crossed the Atlantic to see it tested on the Daytona circuit Josh Herrin who will ride the Panigale V2 in MotoAmerica. An enthusiasm in the role that emerges when the question is asked about the fame of MotoGP. A question that is debated at the moment when the icon Valentino Rossi left the stage: “ Valentino is irreplaceable ", he said in an interview with Motorsport-Total.com. " He was a legendary pilot. Equal to Valentino, I only remember Giacomo Agostini, who at the time was so famous outside of sport ».
Paolo Ciabatti: “ We will definitely miss Valentino«
Replace image Red will not be easy, but from a racing point of view, the spectacle will not be lacking. “ It won't be easy to get the same attention. People wanted to see Valentino win ", added Paolo Ciabatti which states: “ on the other hand, the sport on the track is very exciting. We have a lot of young drivers who are very fast and make the races very exciting ».
The stands will continue to be colored yellow, his name will continue to circulate in the paddock, he leaves behind many young students from the VR46 Academy, including Pecco Bagnaia who turns out to be the best driver in Ducati after finishing second in the final standings of the 2021 season. I think the fans who discovered MotoGP thanks to Valentino understood that it is a great spectacle, whether on television or live. There are no pit stops and no strategy ordered by the pit wall. Hopefully the fans will continue to encourage the new drivers. But we will definitely miss Valentino ».
