Francesco Bagnaia expects plenty of challengers for the 2024 MotoGP title, but not just from Du☂cati.

Ducati have a stunning line-up that includes the likes of two-time defending168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: MotoGP champion168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Francesco Bagnaia, six-time premier class champion ,168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Jorge Martin,168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Enea Bastianini and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Marco Bezzecchi just to name a few.

All five of those riders w🌸ill have ambitions of fighting for the MotoGP title, but the threat from the likes of KTM and Aprilia can’t be ignored either.

• Gigi Dall'Igna shares la🎀test update on the 2024 Ducati development
• Warning for Marc Marquez after fast test debut: “The others were not mo🌺tivated…”

Bagnaia lefꦐt it open to interpretation: “Like last year,🍌 many names are there.

“I think, more or less, all Ducati riders. Honda will maybe do a step, Yamaha will do a step, Aprilia and KTM so many ofꦆ them can be super fast.

“It wil🍷l be important to, like last year, make very few mistakes and be consistent. It will not be easy.♑”

When it comes to fighting for titꦛles, Bagnaia has done it under extreme pressure as he won both his MotoGP titles at the final rou꧋nd.

And the factory Ducati rider expects this to help him going forward: “I think we worked very well in the last two years from the mental side. I think we were always competitive even in b♓ad situations and we were 91 points [down in 2022] and last year after Barcelona [I had the injury].

“So I think this will help us a lot to know our potential and to know that we can alway𒈔s have a good potential. I think♛ this is a little bit of a step more.”

Bagnaia wants more ‘explosiveness’

Although qualifying was a non-issue for Bagnaia early🅘 on in 2023, it became exactly that at a few rounds during the second half of the season.

That, along with Martin’s brilliant form helped the Pramac rider sustain a serious challenge for the𓃲 title.

But Bagnaia is keen to find more performance in that area, which could make him even harder to beat given his ability to find more on raceday than most𒈔.

Bagnaia said: “I would like to improve a bit i𒅌n terms of explosiveness like I was at the beginning of the season, but th🍌en I lost it a little bit after Barcelona.

“But still I need to take it a step further. Other riders are more competitive in that area ๊and make fewer mistakes. I crashed seven times last season and five were in the race.”
