Gigi Dall’Igna believes the 2026 World Championship will be a duel in which being fast will not be enough: clarity, consistency and few mistakes will also be essential. For Ducati’s general manager, the gap between winning and losing will come down to combining speed and strategy.
In a championship that is becoming more even, the title fight will reward whoever can stay competitive every weekend. For Ducati, then, it will not only be about having the benchmark bike, but also about reading races better than the rivals.
