Gigi Dall'I🌳gna assesses Pecco Bagnaia, Alex Marquez and 🅺Marc Marquez

Gigi Dall’Igna insists Ducati must “improve” to aid 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pecco Bagnaia who “fell short” in Jerez.
Bagnaia managed a podium finish last weekend at the Spanish MotoGP, a valuable points haul because teammate and title rival 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez crashed from the lead.
However, Gresini’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Marquez upstaged the factory’s star Bagnaia by winning in Jerez to top the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings.
Bagnaia also notable finished behind Fabio Quartararo who, although he was feted for a sensational weekend, is riding Yamaha machinery which is inferior to the Ducati GP25.
“Pecco fell short of expectations primarily because he has always accustomed us to be✤tter performances on Sundays as opposed to Saturda♈ys,” Ducati boss Dall’Igna said.
“But also because of the grit and determination he displayed on tha🍷t spectacular first lap: in the race pace, however, he lacked the sharpness🅠 that we all were expecting, as well as those peaks that are needed to bring him back to challenging for the top.
“F🤪rom the ♍Championship perspective, however, he scored a valuable third place to add to his tally, but the fact remains that it is imperative for us to improve.”
Alex Marquez is one point clear of his brother Marc at the summ𝐆it of the standin🙈gs.
Bagnaia, whose season has not yet caught fire, is 20 behind the leader going into the French Mot♔oGP at Le Mans next weekend.

The victory 🌸of Gresini’s Alex Marquez allowed Ducati to equal Honཧda’s all-time record of 22 grand prix wins in a row.
“A record-brea𒁃king streak equalled and thanks to Alex Marquez's superb achievement, five different riders taking the honours in this splendid chain of successes,” Dall’Igna said.
“And not forgetting the result of Saturday's Spri🧸nt Race with six ♔Ducatis occupying the six top positions.
“An ongoing dream for a r🉐ecord to beat and for motivations that will never lessen.
“Exactly like Alex's triumph on his home track, his very first in premier class, historic ൲and well-deserved not only for the rider we already knew well, but also and above all for his awesome start to the season, with continuity, quality, intelligence, pace and speed.
“His first win in the Top Class could not have been 𒅌more special and the fact that he is now also leading the World Championship is a bonus that says it all about this magic weekend and in recognition of Team Gresini's excellent teamwork. Congratulations!”
Dall’Igna added:🦹 “What can I say about Marc... unfortunately his was a mistake that occurred too early, well before the GP took shape and the values on the track became clear.
“We had better start thinking of our next commitment, without harbouring doubts but keeping 🧸all this in mind.🎀..
“We can certainly add, and always appreciate, the rider’s grit in wanting to return to the track, bringing a badly damaged bike to scoring points, and, considering the circumstances, to an 🎃amazing final 12th position.
“[In Jerez] in particular, our opponents showed what they are capable of, which of course does not surprise us and makes our challenges and this wonderful sport even more engaging: it is the reminder that we must constantly🧔 work hard to raise the level of our performances and to make our fans happy.”
