In recent months, there was a surprising departure from Ducati in MotoGP: Max Bartolini, close to the top management of the Borgo Panigale team, decided to accept a new challenge and a more significant role at Monster Energy Yamaha.
Davide Tardozzi, team manager of Ducati, told Motosan.es that Bartolini’s departure is felt in Bologna, considering his quality. However, he emphasized that Ducati is not just one person:
– I worked with Massimo for 20 years. His departure is a blow to the heart; he’s a friend, we’re very close. I think Yamaha made an incredible move, but I believe Ducati is stronger despite this. Max is a very important person for us. […]. Ducati is more than one person; it’s not just one person. I note that there are few as good as Max in this paddock; he is very good.
