Francesco Bagnaia told Ducati not to recruit rider “who makes a mess”

The seat alongside Bagnaia in the factory Ducati team in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 MotoGP rider line-up was eventually won by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Enea Bastianini, who was picked ahead of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Martin and the outgoing 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller.
“Pecco a few months ago had said something that I had marked to myself: ‘We do not need someone who makes a mess when they arrive’,” Duca🦹ti CEO Domenicali told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
“We won't do it."
Bastianini’s relationship with new world champion Bagnaia will come u༒nder the microscope, with the graduate from Gresini Racing harbouring his own lofty ambitions.
"I am aware of the risk of putting together two such♈ strong riders,” Dome𝄹nicali said.
“Pecco will want to beat Enea, who will want to prove to be the strongest.🌳
“But this energy is very important and I am convinced that the team has grown a lo🍬ౠt in the ability to see the athlete as a person and to manage this difficulty.”
Ducati’s big decision to bring Bastianini into their factory team next season, reꦺplacing 💫KTM-bound Miller, is a key change to the 2023 grid.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez will ex💦it Honda and join Gresini, replacing Bastianini.

Domenicali, after seeing Ducati crown their first MotoGP cham꧂pion in 15 years, is dreaming of creating a dynasty led by Bagnaia.
"H�🌸�e can definitely do it, all the elements are there,” Domenicali said.
“This success closes a cycle. Pec🌃co put the icing on the cake in a team that has grown a lot. Now we can open anotheꦰr one in which Pecco will be the reference."
"We talked about it, he is now a stronger rider and we are a better team.ꦜ"
