Francesco Bagnaia Reacts to Ducati GP24 Being Called “The Best Motorcycle in MotoGP History”

 

Francesco Bagnaia, the reigning MotoGP World Champion, has responded to the widespread praise of the Ducati GP24, which has been dubbed *“the best motorcycle in MotoGP history.”* While the bike’s advanced engineering has garnered much acclaim, Bagnaia believes its success is also largely due to his own performances this season.

The Italian rider, known for his bold confidence, didn’t shy away from taking credit for the GP24’s dominance. “It’s all because of me and my performances so far,” Bagnaia stated, underscoring his belief that the bike’s potential is only fully unlocked with his skill on board.

Ducati’s engineers have certainly crafted a standout machine, praised for its power, stability, and agility. However, Bagnaia’s aggressive riding style and exceptional racecraft have been key to pushing the GP24 to its limits, leading to multiple victories and consistent podium finishes.

While his comment may come across as self-assured, it reflects the undeniable synergy between rider and machine.

Ducati’s innovation combined with Bagnaia’s talent has created a formidable package that’s proving tough to beat in 2024.

Bagnaia’s confidence is well-placed, but he also acknowledged the contributions of Ducati’s engineers, stating, “Without their work, we wouldn’t be here today.” As the season continues, it’s clear that with Bagnaia at the helm, Ducati’s place at the top of MotoGP remains secure.
