The arrival of Marc Márquez at Ducati brings ‘challenges’, according to Gigi Dall’Igna, who sees the spaniard as a strong addition to the Ducati squad, with the rider being the most titled at the helm of a Desmosedici. What’s more, the manager believes, the #93 could even fight for the title, something that will depend ‘only on him’.
The General Manager of Ducati spoke about the spanish icon in a conversation with motorcyclenews.com, and said that he believes that next year he will be able to fight for the title, something that will depend on him alone, recalling the work done by Marco Bezzecchi this year. The manager also hasn’t yet confirmed which bike will be used by the future ex-Honda rider: ‘This is still being evaluated, whether it’s that bike or the bike before the latest developments, which is still being analysed. We don’t supply satellite teams with bikes that might have problems. We’ll soon decide which bike they’ll use. Even Bezecchi, with a bike from last year, is fighting for the title this year, so I hope Marc can do it too. It will depend on him’.
Dall’Igna then spoke about managing the riders, which will be a real challenge in itself, he said:
– That’s one of the concerns, one of the challenges. We have to be good at managing strong riders with strong personalities. Apart from Marc, there’s already a concentration of champions at Ducati. We’re going to add one who may be more complicated, having won so many titles, but it’s a job we know how to do.
