2024 will be the last MotoGP season, at least for the foreseeable future𒅌, with eight Ducati riders on 🌳the grid.

But despite Pramac’s switch to Y🧸amaha, Ducati will still have a numeric𒉰al advantage over its rivals with 6 bikes vs 4.

A questi♏on mark remains about how many of those six Desmosedicis will be of the latest factory spec.

Ducati has indicated they might only run three GP25 machines next year, with VR46’s Fabio di Giannantonio the hot favourite to join 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia and new Lenovo team-mate Marc Marquez.

But the prospect of only three GP25💯s has raised some eyebrows since Ducati’s rivals all look set to run four factory bikes in 2025.

Although data from the year-old Desmosedicis is often also relevant, differences in the machinery mean that’s not always t🔥he case.

Either way, after extending his Sunday win streak to fou🌼r-in-row in Germany and taking the title lead, Bagnaia explained how the three leading Ducati riders had each been stro﷽ng in certain areas of the track.

“We are eight [riders],ℱ so you can see clearly w𝔉here someone is doing a better job,” Bagnaia said.

“Like here, Martin was very strong in corner 8. Mꦗarc was very strong in corner 7. I was very strong in corners 9, 10, 11.

“The more [riders] you are, the more data you have and it’s easier to make a ste💮p.”

Bagnaia’s winning race time was 12 seconds quicker than Martin’s ♛Sachsenring victo🔯ry a year ago, continuing a trend of fastest-ever race and lap records this season.

“I went slower th꧙an in Assen, so we can do a better job!” Bagnaia joked, referring to the 30 seconds he had imp꧙roved year-on-year at the Dutch TT.

“I think it’s always the tyres, and also last yea💖r was very much hotter,

“The feeling with the bike is helping to improve the lap times, but the biggest difference is coming fromꦺ the tyres.”
