Ducati sporting director Paolo Ciabatti: “The situation will clear up by June”
Ducati sporting director Paolo Ciabatti in an interview with Sky took stock of the riders’ market and the duel between Enea Bastianini and Jorge Martin for a place in the factory team in 2023: “Bastianini and Martin have been with Ducati since 2021, they are working very well, Ducati is definitely betting on them in the future. There is only one place in the factory team, but the goal is to keep them both on a Ducati. By June the situation will clear up. “
Ciabatti then commented with satisfaction on Bagnaia’s success in Jerez: “Important victory, we had started the season with Bastianini’s victory but the factory team was subdued. Faking in Jerez, on a track not particularly favorable to us, with Pecco he did a great race even with shoulder problems, it was an incredible weekend, we needed it. Quartararo is up front, but we have what it takes to make his life difficult. “
