Chez A dozeni, The new riders will ride in Valencia only with the bike they will have next season no comparative tests available to them to avoid any confusion. The GP23s will not have the latest updates like the new starting lowering. The GP24 is an evolution with new features regarding the engine and chassis. No aerodynamic innovation.

On the Enea, Pecco and Martin bikes, we introduced some additional developments which, however, caused us some problems both in terms of reliability and performance. We therefore do not believe that these innovations should be used for SAT teams. The arrival of Marc Marquez should not change much for Bagnaia. He is a double world champion and must do everything to reconfirm himself. Few riders have repeated themselves like Bagnaia, he too is one of the most important riders in MotoGP. » And he recalls it: “ Ducati’s position was that they didn’t want Marc Marquez« .
