Andrea Dovizioso spoke about it: being an official Ducati rider within the factory structure means accepting a certain pressure. This is undoubtedly the lot of all those who manage to achieve this status, but among the red tunics, it is perhaps a little stronger than elsewhere. An idea which seems to be reinforced with this video of the welcome of the Moto2 World Champion and former member of Pramac, whose passage in the office of a solemn and thoughtful director Domenicali would be almost intimidating...
The arrival of Pecco Bagnaia in the premises of Ducati Corse was a moment immortalized in a video, certain passages of which are worth the detour. Starting with this reception from the boss Sundays which almost gives the impression that the young Italian is already going into scoring.
The one who also revealed an email exchange with Casey Stoner is heard saying by the CEO of the brand: “ If I only have to tell you one thing, it's this: first you have the responsibility to be in the Ducati factory team. This is something that will not be taken away from you. We call Ducati and we have a responsibility to do well. It's the same for all of us ».
This is called raising the debate… but fortunately, there are compensations: “ then you also get support from people who will really care about you ". Which means you shouldn’t disappoint them either…
Ducati is ten months a year and from evening to morning
To lighten the mood a little, Davide Tardozzi who made the complete visit: “ Pecco is already more mature than his 24 years. The fact that he has already won a world championship and even hit rock bottom with an accident means that he has faced the greatest difficulties for a driver. I told him that the hardest part was staying focused ten months a year. To wake up every morning with the desire to achieve results. Then go to bed at night still thinking about that result. It's the hardest thing ».
Si bagnaia had a doubt, he now knows exactly what Ducati expects from him... It will be the same with Jack Miller who will perhaps have less opportunity, given the atmosphere, to stand out with his pranks.
