It was former Australian MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner who recently implied that Ducati was willing to do some unsavory actions to win. Or rather, so that the title remains within the official team. Thus, despite a consensual speech, Management would not like to see an unofficial Ducati rider win.

MotoGP: Ducati under close surveillance?

There had already been this teams' title, won last season by Pramac, Ducati's satellite team. The result was somewhat messy. And this season, it is the drivers' crown which could be won by the leader of the team in question, given his lead in the championship. However, Stoner appears to warn Jorge Martin that certain things could happen during the final round this weekend in Barcelona.

And it was in the columns of La Gazzetta dello Sport that Casey spoke on this subject, without filter.

“I think Jorge deserves the title and is in a position to win it. Pecco will do everything he can to win it and Ducati would like to keep number 1. I hope everything goes well, because there could be chaos. I am of the same opinion [que ceux qui pensent que Ducati ne veut pas voir Martin titré]. I know the brand and I know what they are willing to do to win. I'm surprised I didn't see it sooner, or maybe it just happened and Jorge is good at it.” he declares, alluding to more or less illicit practices.

“That’s what Gigi thinks. But there is [certains chez Ducati] who don't want to lose number 1. But everyone is watching them very closely. If they make a mistake like this, it will be discovered. If they create a problem, it will backfire on them. I hope everything goes well and we see the real world champion.” […]continues the person concerned, visibly worried about what could happen and skew the result of the 2024 MotoGP world championship.
