In racing, numbers are usually the most accurate reflection of reality. And the numbers that Ducati recorded in MotoGP this season, with the eight bikes it had spread across the grid, unequivocally underlines the supremacy that the fleet of Desmosedicis enjoyed over their competitors.
Between two of the three versions of the Ducati prototype that have raced on track in this 2022, 12 victories have been accumulated out of a possible 20 – a record for the manufacturer – as well as 16 pole positions. The 32 podiums of the Bologna manufacturer – more than half of the 60 total – have been shared by seven of its eight riders; another metric that only reaffirms the success of the Reparto Corse engineers, led by Gigi Dall’Igna, in the design and development of the latest bike.
