Bagnaia: ‘I don’t want to be part’ of factory Ducati team-mate talks Full story 👉 MotoGP
With several riders having already inked deals to join new teams for the 2023 MotoGP season, Ducati’s factory seat alongside Bagnaia will also be one of those.signed a two-year deal with KTM, it was clear that either Martin or Bastianini would join Bagnaia next season. However, it remains to be seen which of the two will get that opportunity.
Had Bastianini kept up that form then the factory seat would have likely been his. But in recent rounds it’s the Italian who has made mistakes, while Martin has re-found his form.Keen to not participate in such talks, Bagnaia said the decision is not one he’s worried about after joking that fellow VR46 Academy rider Marco Bezzecchi would be ‘great to have’ alongside him.
Joining Bagnaia on the podium in Assen was MotoGP rookie Bezzecchi, as the Italian managed to surprisingly keep pace with Bagnaia until the final few laps.Better yet, Bezzecchi took a comfortable podium finish with the GP21 bike, a machine that fellow rookie Fabio Di Giannantonio has also begun to find serious form with.
"Looking at the results from the riders with the 21 [bike] and the rookies, I think it’s a really great bike to start with," said Bagnaia.
