Joan Mir spooked by Ducati
Joan Mir scared of Ducati
With each passing Grand Prix, Ducati’s gap from the chasing houses is getting wider and wider. In the last 8 races, the Borgo Panigale manufacturer has occupied all the podium positions: the domination seems to have no limits. Quite the opposite of Honda, now the tail-end of MotoGp.
The Japanese manufacturer in the first 11 races has collected just 28 points and è desolately last in the constructors’ standings. Rider Joan Mir in As stressed the gap between his bike and that of Ducati: “The work they do è crazy, as well as the level of their bike. I found myself behind Bagnaia and at the’exit of the slow corner between 3 and 4 Pecco gained three tenths only by raising the bike and opening the throttle”, he said after the Austrian Grand Prix.
“Our top speed è not è then so bad, but what is wrong è our acceleration. They have disproportionate grip, they seem to be from another category”.
