The victory of Pecco Bagnaia in Misano released 'Rocky' Davide Tardozzi. In the box Ducati where the last laps of the Grand Prix were experienced with excitement, Enea Bastianini advanced tenth by tenth until the last assault attempt. A thrilling ending that turned heads Claudio Domenicali et Gigi Dall'Igna, but without a team order, drivers are free to choose. The minimum gap of 34 thousandths at the finish suggests what the coexistence between the two companions and compatriots will be like: it will be a limitless challenge in the next MotoGP championship.
The risk of seeing them both fall was real, the pilot Gresini Racing team almost touched the rear wheel of the Ducati GP22 Pecco Bagnaia, but turned away to avoid contact. A scene reminiscent of the accident between Andrea Iannone (present at the Misano weekend) and Andrea Dovizioso in Argentina 2016, an episode which subsequently ousted the Abruzzese pilot from future projects in Borgo Panigale. This is the price to pay for manufacturers who do not want to impose team instructions, as in the case of Ducati, At least for the moment.
Davide Tardozzi gives his boss Claudio Domenicali white hair
In the last races the necessary calculations will be made, not now,” when Enea will no longer have the chance to win the World Championship “, explains the team manager Davide Tardozzi to 'AS'. “ Bastianini is fourth in the championship, far from first, but It’s good that he’s doing his race.. Right now, Pecco doesn't need any help because he's winning ". A philosophy of thought that does not fit perfectly with the comments made by the boss Sundays...
Four consecutive victories, six during the 2022 MotoGP season, ten since his debut in the premier category, twenty victories since the start of his career in the World Championship. From the next championship, he will share the Ducati garage with Enea Bastianini, a long-time companion who looks down on no one on the track and has nothing to envy in terms of courage and speed. Currently, the company's attention is entirely focused on bagnaia, the only driver of the brand to still be in the running for the world title. “ Fabio (Quartararo) cannot be underestimated. We'll see what happens. The first step was to beat Aleix in the general classification, which is important, and the next step will be to try to win in Aragon. If we also win in Aragon… ».
Marc Marquez will soon be on the list of direct rivals of Pecco Bagnaia, back on track from the first day of MotoGP testing in San Marino. Until now, the direct opponent has been fabio quartararo, the only one capable of hindering its rise to the world championship, the Aprilia ofAleix Espargarò does not seem to raise any particular concerns, at least so far. “ His priority is to become Marc again and win with Honda. I want him to be the real Marc Marquez, because nothing gives me more satisfaction than beating this Marc. When that happens, we know we will have beaten the best. Next year will surely be one of the rivals to beat » says Tardozzi.
