Pecco/Ducati 2022 Double World Champions

Ducati Forum

Help Support Ducati Forum:

I’m sure that there are advantages and disadvantages to being a bigger racer. Redding is doing a lot of crying about it at the moment, but I think it’s because he needs an excuse for not winning a championship over the past two seasons. Does anyone sincerely doubt that Rae and Toprack can’t win on a Ducati? The reality is that the Ducati is a very competitive bike and Bautista is riding it well.
 
For sure they can. But, the taller comment isn't meant to compare from 5'-3" and 5'6" and extrapolate superiority, but rather 5'-3" to 6'-3". Once you cross 5'-9"...eh.

I've said it in another thread and I'll say it here. Ducati played the long game on development and the chickens are coming home to roost...finally.

The Italians seemed to have out gamed the Japanese. Its not just Ducati. Aprilia isn't far behind. They just need a VR46 rider academy dude.
 
Redding wasn’t complaining while he was beating Bautista the last 2 years.
Piss weak effort from him to post what he did on social media, fudging the numbers massively to try and get extra sympathy. Pathetic.
 
Maybe Rea and Pere Riba need to check out the WSBK regs... Motorcard could easily pick up a V4R and all the homologation parts and put together their own package. That's the whole point of homologation racing. All the major parts need to be available for purchase by other teams. And if those complaining want rider+bike weight limits maybe they need to step down to WSS or SSP300
 
I see Bautista has retaliated suggesting if they are going to ask for a weight limit then they should also have a strength limit too as he loses out to the bigger stronger guys with inputs into the bike!
 
DUCATI has sent us Italian DOC members an invite to watch the Valencia race at Borgo Panigale Sunday in front of a huge screen on the Ducati Test Track. The museum and other facilities will be open and free all day to Ducati Club Members. I can imagine a Pecco B. win is going to be quite the party. I might ride over there with my group. It's an hour of twisties over the mountains.
 
Vbreeze my friend, keep up the exemplary display of what “living” should be. Your insight, tenacity and desire to do better things continues to pay dividends. Enjoy sir.

As far as height, weight, strength etc. next someone will just declare a gender change and a whole new crop of concessions will emerge.
 
IMHO, Pecco had his best weekend of the year. He rode to a plan! No hot head mistakes. There are times when you cannot win. Stay on the bike and score points.

Fabio rides the absolute wheels off that bike. It is apparent that Yamaha is way behind. Just adding power is never the answer. As it effects every other aspect of the bike. Example the GP22 Ducati. That bike was a mess out of the box and it has been reported they actually had to LOWER the power.

Overall I thought it was a great season in GP. Every race was competitive with multiple riders in the hunt.

Now Bautista has to seal the deal!
 
For multiple years they, Yamaha, had riders telling them there was no traction on the rear. Sure Rossi was past his prime, but Mav said the same, Morbi mentioned it and this year, Dovi told them. But they had FQ20 riding smooth way out front and winning so they listened to him when he said they need power. Since he started having to ride in a pack and could not be smooth, he started on the rear traction issue.
HOnda did the same, they kept building a bike for one guy to ride, didn't matter that it ended the careers of multiple legend level riders, Lorenzo and Pedrosa. The MM93 got hurt and they've been f'd for 3 years.

Meh, Pecco mailed in that ride. For me, it kind of killed the mood of winning the championship. There was no panache to it. He was riding to stay in the top 14 and that was it. He’s lucky he didn’t get punted by BB and The Beast.

Suzuki had the best weekend. What a way to sign off!!! Hopefully, Suzuki bosses re-evaluate their blunder and return to racing. It’s really a shame.
