Why Qatar showed that Ducati are more dominant than ever in MotoGP
The likes of Brad B෴inder and Aleix Espargaro had their moments in Qatar, but it was Ducati who again reigned suprem✱e.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, last season’s MotoGP title contenders, were victorious in the sprint and grand prix, respecti🉐vely.
Howeve🥀r❀, Ducati’s dominance went well beyond the winner of the race, as their presence was felt heavily throughout the top ten.

Martin won the sprint ahead of KTM’s Brad Binder and Aprilia’s Aleix Espar🌠garo, but positions four through to seven were all Ducati riders.
𓂃In the grand prix, Bagnai✨a took victory again ahead of Binder, however, Ducati’s stranglehold on the top positions was even more impressive.
Martin led home five🙈 Ducati riders in third, with Marc Marquez fou🤡rth on his Gresini debut.
But aside from the finishing order, what we learned is that the Ducati, whether it’s the GP24 or last year’s title-winni🔯ng💧 machine, is still the best bike on the grid.
Top speed has 🔯not been an issue for many years, but it’s the edge grip, cornering s♛peed and braking prowess of their bikes that are providing a headache for their opposition.
Binder had to ride out of his skin to finish second in both races, but when it came to the꧑ 🍰longer grand prix, tyre wear also seemed to favour Ducati.
To highli𓃲ght this argument here are some of the stat💛s Ducati helped their riders achieve over the Qatar round.
Bagnaia’s win meant he became the first world champion to win the s๊eason-opener after winning the final grand prix of 2023, since Jorge Lorenzo in 2015/16.
Bagnaia’s win in Qatar was also the 10th consecutive win for Ducati across grand prix races, a ne♋w record for the Italian brand and MotoGP record.
After a torrid 2023 season, Marc Marquez’s fourth place finish was his best result since P2🐲 🍌in Phillip Island (2022).
Jorge Martin’👍s win in the sprint was his 10th out of 20 races - Ducati’s 17th sprint win in the🎃 same number of races.
Bagnaia’s🅰 total of 19 MotoGP wins is just four shy of Casey Stoner’s Ducati tally.
With Bagnaia and Martin combining for a🌟 double podium finish, Ducati’s streak of rostru🌟m results was extended to 47 with at least one rider on the podium.
While race pace continues🗹 to be a huge strength for Ducati, their performance over one 🐼lap also remains better than other manufacturers.
It’s a combination that is proving deadly as the likes of KTM and Aprilia are closes♑t to challenging, but struggle to do so on a consistent basis.
