Italian MotoGP: Francesco Bagnaia, Marco Bezzecchi dismiss notion that Ducati WSBK success is similar to MotoGP

Ducati are dominating both MotoGP and WorldSBK, and have done so since last season when Bagnaiaಞ and Baut💝ista claimed success in both series’.
Prior to Bagnaia’s title win, Ducati was without a MotoGP title since 2007, while the Italian manufacturer’s last Superbike title was in 2011, however, Ducati has q💜uickly become the bike to beat in both championships.

- Bezzecchi “dreaming” of factory Ducati seat, M🉐artin “knows nothing” aꦉbout future
Bagna💙ia is the current championship leader once again in MotoGP through five rounds, while Mooney VR46 Ducati rider Bezzecchi is just one point behind him.
In WorldSBK, Bautista has shown the type of d🐲ominance we’ve rarely seen after claiming a third consecutive hat-trick last weekend in Misano, meaning he has won 14 out of 15 races so far this year.
But Bagnaia and Bezzecchi, who were in attendance for Bautista’s latest triumph, claimed the bike is not the ✃reason why the Spaniard is enjoying so much success.
Bagnaia said: "It was fun! I sa𝓀w a good race. Ducati is there with Bautista. Other riders are competitive but Bautista is making the difference, 𝔍not the bike.
"I enjoyed it a lot," added Bezzecchi. "I like the Superbikes but it is Bautista that i𒁃s very ಌstrong. The bike is good but the other Ducatis are not like him."
Bagnaia not 100% fit for home MotoGP race

After hiﷺs cl🦩ash with Maverick Vinales at the French Grand Prix three weeks ago, Bagnaia has confirmed he remains less than 100% for the Mugello round.
Struggling more with walking rather than riding, the Italian does not expect to see his perfor🦋mance suffer as a result of his ankle injury.
"I’m not 100% but I’m struggling more to walk than ꦕride," said Bagnaia. "After four days I didn’t know that I brokꦅe the ankle.
"I was riding here just to train and I was feel𝔉ing pain, b🎃ut nothing that without a bit of focus stopped me from riding. I don’t think it will affect my race weekend."
