With four rounds and eight races remaining of the 2023 MotoGP season, riders and team managers expect the battle to go down to its final day in Valencia.
All three have shone - and have made mistakes - at various points this season but the decisive attribute which will decide the championship has been identified by Davide Tardozzi.
Last year Bagnaia was trailing Fabio Quartararo until the final round, where he pinched a historic title, Ducati’s first in 15 years. “It’s true that he’s made some mistakes. He knows why. He made four, because one was not his fault, in France.“His relationship with his race engineer is close, it’s a key point on what he shows from Saturday to Sunday.
Tardozzi warned that the battle will go until the last day: “Yes, it will be decided in Valencia. The three guys are very fast."“We need to improve small things which can help us. The rider is there, the bike is there, we receive help from Ducati.”
