The numbers left so far by the Ducati GP24 and GP23 reflect that this year's Desmosedici is a much bigger leap in quality than the one between the GP22 and GP23, the one that only Marc Marquez is able to place regularly on the podium
The debate about to what extent the MotoGP riders who started the 2024 season with the latest Ducati specification had an advantage is still alive, although somewhat less than a few months ago when the Borgo Panigale brand had to decide who would partner Francesco Bagnaia in 2025 as second factory rider. Enea Bastianini's poor start to the year left Jorge Martin and Marquez as the main candidates to take his place, and in the end, it was the latter who won the battle.
A detailed look at the trace left so far by the two models, and a comparison with what happened in last year's championship, not only supports Dall'Igna's comments, but practically settles the debate. Especially because of the four riders competing on a GP23, only Marquez has been able to withstand the push from those on the GP24, especially in the second half of the season.
