“ Ducati scored an incredible 700 points from an available 728 in the Constructor ’ s Championship in 2023 ”
For those at the top , surely the only way is down . That doesn ’ t seem to be the case at Ducati , who appears to have solidified its # 1 status in the early rounds . The Italian manufacturer scored an incredible 700 points from an available 728 in the Constructor ’ s Championship in 2023 . And lead riders Pecco and Jorge Martin believe the Desmosedici GP24 is even better than last year ’ s bike .
The ’ 24 Ducati has a new engine with added power , as well as revised aerodynamics , which provide greater braking stability . During testing , riders felt they have lost a little agility . Yet the results don ’ t lie , with Bagnaia , Martin and Bastianini winning every race so far bar one .
One small area of concern was a vibration issue with the rear tyre that persisted through the early races . Yet this was fixed after the Jerez test and recent races have shown Ducati is even stronger than before with four of its riders can fight for the title . Its electronics package and smooth power delivery is the envy of the paddock , meaning it wrapped up the Manufacturer ’ s Championship with six races to spare .
