• Jorge Martin intent on joining f⛦actory Ducati team: ‘They kno😼w what I want'

And si🎃nce then Bagnai🐲a has been peerless in pre-season testing, topping both the Malaysia and Qatar tests with new lap records.

Speaking ahead of his title defence, Bagnaia said: “We arrive here in great💖 shape. We worked perfectly in the teꦗst and managed to do all the work we planned.

“My feeling on the new bike is quite good. We just did five days of testing and we need more ꧙days on ༺it.

“But my feeling is good and it looks like this y༒ear’s bike is༺ quite competitive right now. Renewing the contract is something very important for me and for Ducati. 

“Having 🐼a clear mindset is better and I can be focused on the resul𓆏ts.”

Bagnaia’s title defence will begin shortly after signing a new multi-year deal that keꦫeps him with Ducati untilt he end of 2💛026.

“We started speaki🌊ng about the renewal last year,” said Bagnaia when discussing his new contra🦹ct.

“We were in the same direction and I wanted Ducati, and Ducati wanted me. We had time to do it without♕ havꦫing so much press.

“B♊oth sides we⛄re doing their job so it was quite easy to go through and we are happy together. It was not difficult to sign.”

While 2022 and 2023 were incredible seasons for Bagnaia, both of which showed a different side to Bagnaia’s ability, 2024 could be his hardest year yet when it comes 💮to remaining on top.

Martin is expected to challenge the Italian once again, while Enea Bastianini, Marc Marquez and✅ Brad Binder are also 𝄹expected to be very strong throughout the year.

But Bagnaia is confident he can reꦐmain in the mix, largely because his mindset has never been stronger.

Asked if winning two titles in succession has changed his approach, Bagnaia said: “No! Honestly𓆏, no because I want to continue doing wha𝓀t I love to do.

“The ambition is the same, the work at home is the same, the work in the box is even high𒁏er and it will always be ☂like this.”
