we have all the tools to fight with the Ducati »
Last year, Martin had lost the championship at the last Grand Prix in Valencia. This time,
Pramac wants to write a new ending, especially as the team prepares to move on from Ducati has
Yamaha next year. In my opinion, we are much stronger than last year, when we were only stronger at the end. We started strong right away. We continue to get stronger. The good thing is that Jorge really enjoys running in Asia. We managed to widen the gap with Pecco and now we have a better feeling with the bike… We have all the tools to fight with the Ducati “, said
Borsoi.
Although Martin have an advantage,
Borsoi remain cautious: ” Having a 24-point lead is positive, but it is still not enough.. Last year, we were 50 points behind here in Misano… we managed to reduce the gap, so it’s positive, but it’s still not enough. Bagnaia is still there and we know him very well. Bastianini has shown incredible speed in recent races. Marc Marquez is not so far, it is hard to say. But we are certainly there ” And he repeats as a conclusion: ” and we are much stronger than last year. » The Pramac satellite team is therefore ready and determined to make history with a MotoGP title.
