Ducati was one of the dominant forces in MotoGP. Just look at that in 2021, five of his six drivers were on the podium … but two of them will have to have their bags packed by the Italian manufacturer, Carlo Pernat believes.
‘If there are no surprises, Jack Miller and Johann Zarco will be represented at the equestrian market, I would say with 99.9% certainty. Jack is a good bet, but he’s gone through many ups and downs. Yamaha, on the other hand, is the best positioned factory as it has three strong drivers: Quartararo, Morbidelli and Toprak, ”said the driver manager at GPOne’s Bar Sport Show.
Miller won his first Grand Prix at Jerez and Le Mans last season, while Zarco had a great first half of the championship with four second places in the first seven races of 2021. The Australian, you recall, has a contract with the Borgo Panigale team until the end of 2022, just like the French, while Francesco Bagnaia, second in 2021, has secured his place and is the main bet for the team to attack the title .
The Italian team may want to make some changes with a view towards 2023 after Jorge Martín put in a good performance in his rookie season, in which he actually won a race at the Styrian GP and eventually took a second podium in the championship at Valencia Run.
Martin has already explained his wishes for the 2023 season, as quoted by La Gazzetta dello Sport: “My goal is to become world champion at Ducati and for that I have to join the works team. We hope to be on this team in 2023.
