Gino Borsoi, sporting director of Pramac Racing, spoke about this in an interview with GP Racing, cited by Motosan, saying that Jorge Martín, Pramac rider, would have deserved this place.
« It was a surprise for me,” confessed
Borsoiwho still seemed perplexed by the choice of Ducati. “ When you listen to Dall’Igna, he seems completely under the spell of Marc Marquez and his driving style. For an engineer of his caliber, seeing a champion like Marquez want to ride your bike is certainly flattering,” he added.
well that Borsoi does not have all the details of this decision, he did not hide his support for
Martin. « I have my opinionbut without knowing all aspects of the story, it’s hard to say whether it was good or bad. However, I have the right to think that Jorge Martin deserved more than Marc Marquez to join the official Ducati team next year,” he said.

Aware that it is useless to dwell on the past,
Borsoi stressed the importance of looking to the future. “ This story is already in the past. There is nothing to be done about it now, and it would do no good for Jorge to stay ruminating. We must plan for the future,” he said, emphasizing that his role is also to help Martín focus on the next steps.
Borsoi also recalled that, by the end of the year, Pramac remains the only team to receive updates for the Desmosedici GP24, apart from the official team. “ Our contract with Ducati is clear: we are the only team, apart from the official team, which can benefit from specific developments and improvements for the GP24,” he assured.
The situation highlights the strategic choices of
Ducati and the crucial role that the relationship between engineering and pilot vision plays. While
