‘It’s very normal for Pecco Bagnaia and Marc Márquez to get along at this stage; then…’ – Paolo Ciabatti
This year, Ducati has Francesco Bagnaia and Marc Márquez in MotoGP—a high-quality duo that could also be challenging to manage, considering their egos and ambition for success.
Although now more involved in the motocross project, Paolo Ciabatti remains attentive to Ducati’s MotoGP efforts. He spoke about the dynamics of the team’s new pairing.
The Italian explained to GPOne.com that a good relationship is natural at this stage when the bike is still being developed: ‘I expected this to happen because I want the best for Ducati. However, it’s very normal for them to get along during a time of development and deciding on the bike setup to use’.
Ciabatti expects the situation to change but believes there will still be mutual respect between Bagnaia and Márquez: ‘Of course, then, things will change, but we’re talking about two professionals, and I’m convinced they will maintain the level of respect expected from two champions’.
