Ducati's Internal Rivalry: Marquez vs. Bagnaia

The spotlight is also firmly fixed on Ducati, but not entirely for positive reasons. All eyes are on the brewing rivalry between Marc Marquez and Pecco Bagnaia. With a combined 11 world titles between them, their union within the Ducati team raises questions about internal harmony. The season kicks off at the Thailand GP, where the pressure will be immense.

“The union of the two grid icons… raises doubts about the harmony within the factory,” one report noted, highlighting the delicate balance Ducati must maintain. Can Ducati manage these heavy hitters and maintain their dominance? Or will the internal competition derail their championship hopes?
