Ducati Corse general manager Gigi 🎃Dall’Igna supports MotoGP’s newly announced 850cc future, but w𒁏ishes the rule package had been a bit more adventurous.

“I consider the reduction in displacement [from 1,000cc to 850cc] very positive,” Dall’Ig🐬na told .

“But in my opinion🌠, there are other aspects that are not ꦛvery positive in the sense that this regulation will last until 2032. 

"So I expected that we could have inserted some more innovative elements in terms of the bik🍰e and recovery of energy."

Asked if he was talking about hybrid engines (e.g. KERS), Dall’Igna - whose machines have won the last two MotoGP titles with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia - confirmed:

“🌳A small amount of hybridisation in my opinion would have been a positive sign. It is clear that it would have been important to find a way to contain costs, because those technologies have significant costs.

“That was probably [why it didn’t happen]… but perhaps finding a single supplier for the more expensive parts [could have been a solution]. It would have been an element of interesti🧸ng innovation for the world of motorbikes.”

“I beli🐠eve it’s stupid to throw away a quantity of energy into braking that could be recovered,” he added. “I believe that in 20 or 30 years it will be impossible for a vehicle to have traditional brakes, because efficiency must be the thing that guides us.”

Dall’Ign𒅌a also said that the reduction in wing size would have happened anyway due to the less powerful 850cc engine and predicts performance levels will return to their present level by 2032.

However, “if we had not made🌟 this change we would have gone significantly [faster].”

The loss ꧅of ride height devices will not be a big disadvantage for Ducati, Dall’Igna 🤡claimed, since its rivals now also have systems of a similar performance level. 

But he again highlighted that MotoGP needs such innovative technology to add an extra dimension ✱of interest for the fa𒆙ns.

Meanwhile the new GPS sharing initiative “helps those that are chasing♛, more than those that are ahead.” 

Discussions among the manufacturers over a freeze of 𒆙the present machines, or at least engines, to concentrate resources on developi𝔍ng the 850cc bikes is ongoing, but likely for 2026.

Dall’Igna, whose racing department are reigning champions in both MotoGP and WorldSBK, also confirmed that the SBK rules wi🐭ll also need to be revised to avoid overlapping performance with MotoGP.
