Ducati at the moment has essentially the most aggressive bike in MotoGP, however not solely is that this 12 months’s Desmosedici GP24 quick and profitable – the GP23 has additionally gained races this 12 months, and certainly one of its riders, Marco Bezzecchi, believes it has higher traction – but additionally much less efficiency in braking and cornering.
Álex Márquez additionally rides final 12 months’s bike, and in feedback to Motosan.es, he spoke about these comparisons. The Gresini rider believes it additionally is determined by the driving model:
– I feel they’re driving kinds; in the long run, when you possibly can’t handle both the entry into the nook or the cornering itself, you possibly can typically put together a lot better for the exit of the nook, which is why it appears to have extra traction than the GP23. However in the event you examine your self, for instance, in that particular race with [Jorge] Martín, he can have every thing higher, however not simply due to the bike, but additionally as a result of he does issues higher. So it is determined by how every factor is finished, however it may very well be that the GP23 has a bit extra traction, as I stated. But when they are saying that the entry and cornering is a lot better, then that advantages me.
The Spaniard additionally defended that though the highest three within the championship all have the GP24, in MotoGP, the standard of the rider has a big affect: ‘Effectively, we have to take a look at the highest three within the championship. They’re nice riders. We’re not in Formulation 1, the place it’s concerning the vehicles, which means that the driving force has at most 30%, whereas 70% is the automotive and 30% is the driving force. Right here we’re in a sport that, fortunately, is 50/50’.
