Ducati boss Davide Tardozzi speaks about 2024 title battle between Bagnaia and Martin
Ducati boss Davide Tardozzi says the fact Francesco Bagnaia has won eight grands prix in 2024 but is still second in the MotoGP standings is like “an open wound”.
Bagnaia won the Japanese GP to score his eighth grand prix win of the season - a feat only matched by Casey Stoner, Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo and Marc Marquez in the modern era.Double world champion Bagnaia being the chaser in the standings despite his impressive win count can be blamed fully on his seven DNFs so far in 2024 compared to Martin’s four non-scores.
“This is an open wound, but I think Bagnaia knows it well and I am convinced that he will be able to give us the satisfaction that he and the whole team deserve because, in the end, Pecco is aware of the value of the team.” Given how tight the championship battle has been between Martin and Bagnaia, Tardozzi feels whoever wins it has fully earned it.
