This season, there is Ducati and the others. The Italian firm regularly places its eight riders in the top places of the MotoGP Grand Prix, relegating the other teams to the places of honor. Honda, KTM and Yamaha are struggling to compete and find themselves far behind. It is not Luca Marini who will say the opposite. In Malaysia, the Italian saw Marc Marquez and Franco Morbidelli happily overtake him after having fallen. He expressed his helplessness to Motorsport : Those who fell went back and passed me again, so I didn't even have the chance to win the places of those who fell! If a Ducati falls and starts again, we already know that it will overtake us.”
“They smoke us”
Luca Marini deplores an abysmal performance gap: “They're super fast, and when they arrive, we're right there, struggling with everything, and they pass us in a straight line, braaaam! Without any problem. They're smoking us, they're going twice as fast! We're just bowling pins and they rush at us, without fear because anyway, they know they're going twice as fast. » Honda and Yamaha will have to particularly redouble their efforts in the coming months to bother the Ducati again.

A Honda rider lamented the difference in performance with Ducati and his inability to compete. Luca Marini thus believes that Ducati riders can largely catch up even in the event of a fall.
