Ducati made its Grand Prix motorcycle racing debut in 2022, prioritising four-stroke technology. In the year 2022, star rider Pecco Bagnaia finished on the podium ten times.
Francesco Bagnaia won 7 of the 20 races in which he competed for Ducati Corse, which is incredible. Bagnaia finished the year as the top MotoGP rider with whooping 256 points.
Another huge plus for the racing team was the presence of Australian MotoGP rider Jack Miller. He finished on the podium seven times in 2022. He also won a championship and finished 2022 ranked fifth with 189 points.
During their respective championship defenses, Pecco Bagnaia in MotoGP and Alvaro Bautista in WorldSBK will carry the number one plate. Corse will rely heavily on both MotoGP riders to bring them back-to-back titles.
Pecco Bagnaia promises more action in 2023
Ducati made a number of substantial last-minute changes before starting the 2022 MotoGP season. These changes contributed to Pecco Bagnaia‘s championship charge getting off to a difficult start.
Ducati is planning for the upcoming 2023 season and a bike that will have little drastic change. Francesco Bagnaia won the 2023 MotoGP title on his GP22 at the final race last year.
In the penultimate round, Alvaro Bautista won his World Superbike title on his Panigale V4 R. Alvaro Bautista believes his 2022 WorldSBK season was his finest yet.
Bagnaia’s new 2023 teammate Enea Bastianini won the Qatar race riding an older 2021-spec bike. Factory Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi is hoping that both Italian riders will help Ducati have its best season in 2023.
In 2023, Ducati has high hopes from Enea Bastianini
During a launch ceremony, the Italian team Bagnaea and Enea Bastianini unveiled the factory’s fresh colors. Monster Energy has joined Ducati as a new official sponsor, joining Lenovo as the title sponsor.
Bagnaia won seven races and overcame a 91-point deficit to win the championship from Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo. Ducati’s first MotoGP champion since Casey Stoner in 2007 is the Italian rider.
Bastianini joins the Ducati team after a surprising four victories and a third-place finish in the world championship. The 25-year-old also had numerous tight end-of-race clashes with Bagnaia.
Bastianini, like Bagnaia, was a Moto2 champion before advancing to the premier class. He won at Le Mans after Bagnaia crashed, and he won at Aragon with a successful last-lap victory pass.
