Dall’Igna: “Ducati will have to work hard”
On the sidelines of the SBK round in Misano, Dall’Igna commented on the recent movements recorded in the premier class of the MotoGP: “We knew what the others’ moves were. It certainly won’t be easy, because our opponents have strengthened, but we already knew this, so you will have to work hard“ began the engineer from Veneto on Sky Sport MotoGP, not worried about the possible leak of information that could cause the transfer of riders currently working for Ducati to other brands. “As I have always said, it is the technicians who bring the information. The riders can give comments, make comparisons with the bikes they rode before, but a pilot rarely carries technical secrets with him”.
Dall’Igna and the Pramac-Yamaha issue
But on Dall’Igna’s table there is not only the driver issue: the Prima Pramac team could embrace the cause Yamahaand the ball is in Paolo Campinoti’s hands. “Time is almost over now, so sooner or later we will have to decide. The solution is not in our hands, so we just have to wait – the words of the Ducati DG – there is a historicity that binds us, because we achieved many results together, but above all there is a friendship. So I really hope that Campinoti makes the decision to stay with us.”
