"A magical victory", Ducati rejoices in Marc Márquez's debut

Ducati Technical Director Gigi Dall'Igna spoke enthusiastically after the 2025 Thailand Grand Prix, the first round of the season. MotoGP. Delighted by Marc Márquez's victory, and the all-Ducati podiums in the Sprint and the race, his statements reflect the domination of the Italian team.

However, he supported his speech on the total domination of the Spaniard during the race weekend, so it seems that the multiple world champion already has unanimity within the Reds' box. A good thing for the main interested party, who wants to beat his teammate, Pecco Bagnaia on his home turf.

"A fast and decisive Marc Márquez imposed himself masterfully with a pace unmatched by all others, emphasizes the Italian. What more could you ask for? In order to increase the pressure of the front tyres and avoid the penalty, he had to let his brother pass in front, immediately entering his slipstream, trying to stay as close as possible to the wheel. Despite all the risks that this implies for the bike and the rider, given the extremely high temperatures of the Thai track.

"He gave us a magical victory that smacks of pure talent and supreme skill, continues Dall'Igna. This is the first time that two brothers have secured the first two places in a GP, thanks to an unwavering and determined Alex. He didn't concede anything at all to Pecco, just like in the Sprint. Congratulations."

Regarding Bagnaia, Gigi Dall'Igna's words hide a mixture of surprise and disappointment. "For Pecco it was two difficult races, two third places that I consider extremely important. He certainly deserves more than that, but on a track that he does not find nice, and to always fully rediscover the feeling with the bike, it was very important to be satisfied."

Expectations for the Italian will therefore be raised for the next rounds of this 2025 MotoGP season.

"I am convinced that in the races that follow he will be able to regain the same confidence that he achieved at the end of last season. He will be in contention for victory again. For our part, we will do our best to support him." concludes Gigi Dall'Igna.
