MotoGP Styria J3 Gigi Dall'Igna: “in case of a wet track I can clearly see Marc Marquez”

Gigi Dall'Igna, the boss of Ducati Corse takes stock on the eve of a Styrian Grand Prix which will count in the title race. His troops are well placed to counter Fabio Quartararo who masters his championship and asserts himself as the boss at Yamaha. However, if we follow his surgical analysis nothing will be simple. In this meeting, it will be necessary to play as much with the head as with the legs.

Ce Grand Prix of Styria looks totally undecided because in addition to a demanding track we will have to play with the weather conditions. However, Gigi Dall'Igna brings us a little light in this total darkness... The Italian first affirms this certainty: “ in case of a wet track, I can clearly see Marc Marquez ».

There will be 28 long laps during which tire wear will need to be addressed. In principle everything will be oriented towards the medium at the rear, but the weather conditions can change everything. “ It will be a complicated race for two reasons: the topic of tire wear will be an important fact, because the tire will definitely drop from the middle of the race. And then we must also consider the question of gasoline consumption, this is the track where we consume the most and certainly we won't be able to push from start to finish. It will be a management match » anticipates Gigi Dall'Igna on Motoracing. " It is difficult to assess what the pace will be, especially at the end of the race. The pace at the start will be important, but the race will start in the middle and until the end ».

Gigi Dall’Igna: “ there will be different strategies, we will see which one will be the right one« 

Ducati can boast of the most powerful engine in the MotoGP category this 2021 season. But this will not affect fuel consumption swears Gigi. “ Many things are done to make an engine go fast, we look for efficiency. From this point of view, I don't think those with the most powerful engines can be penalized. The effect of suction is extremely important even from this point of view you have to think while racing ».

He finishes : " it will be a management race especially in the first laps, there will be different strategies. We'll see which one is the right one. Jorge Martin carried the tires up to 28 laps, he worked well during the weekend ».

We will recall this incident during the warm-up…
