Ducati GP24 Cannot Be Carried Aggressively: Jorge Martin and Pecco Change Riding Style
Jorge Martin said that during Sunday’s race he didn’t experience too many vibrations on the bike, but the Ducati riders had to race in a different way than yesterday. Both Pecco and Martin had made similar changes in the warm-up session, but then they had to ride the bike more gently and they couldn’t push the bike too hard when entering corners, otherwise the tires would wear out a lot and the problems would multiply. “Both Pecco and I, we can go faster, but at the moment the tires don’t hold up,” said Martinator
Riding Style Change
Jorge Martin revealed that in this race he didn’t experience too much vibration on the bike, but they decided to race in a different way than before. Both Pecco and Jorge Martin made similar changes in the warm-up session, but when entering corners, they had to ride the motorbike more gently and could not push the motorbike too hard. This is because the tires will wear out quickly and cause bigger problems.
Both Pecco and Jorge Martin realize that they have the potential to go faster, but currently they have to consider the condition of the tires which cannot withstand a too aggressive riding style. This shows that tire management is a key factor in their performance on the track.
Tire Management on the Ducati GP24 Motorcycle
Even though Ducati motorbikes are known for being fast, the tires used are Michelin tires which are not made specifically for Ducati. This means that Ducati riders must pay more careful attention to tire management in order to maximize the performance of their motorbikes.
The changes in riding style made by Jorge Martin and Pecco show that they do not only rely on motorbike speed, but also strategy in managing tires. They realize that if they push the motorbike too hard when entering a corner, the tires will wear out quickly and the motorbike’s performance will decrease.
This shows that in MotoGP races, not only motorbike speed is the determining factor, but also the rider’s ability to manage tires. By changing their riding style, Jorge Martin and Pecco Bagnaia hope to optimize the performance of their Ducati GP24 motorbike and achieve better results in the next race.
Overall, this experience is a lesson for Ducati riders that tire management is important in achieving good results on the track. Even though their motorbikes have extraordinary speed, without good tire management, the motorbike’s performance will not be maximized. They should consider a gentler riding style and avoid pushing the motorbike too hard so that the tires don’t wear out quickly.
With this change in riding style, Jorge Martin and Pecco hope to show their true potential and achieve better results in the future races. They will continue to learn and develop the best strategy for managing tires on their Ducati GP24 motorbike.
