Marc said just the other day you have to ride the bike to what it does as opposed to the rider determining more of what the bike does. That's why Pecco is doing so well, he figured out how to ride Gigi's creation the way it has to be ridden as opposed to how he might want to actually ride it.
It was never the case that the rider rode as he pleased. Bikes, cars, horses, all have their characteristics you can't bend.
This is merely a different breed of bikes, and the way you ride is different. Marc has still not figured out how to ride the Ducati to its limit, without tipping over. Bagnaia has. So in 2024 he is better than Marc, even in Marc has won more races and championships.
A question I have about Sunday - do people think that Pecco had time in hand? Could he have gone faster if he needed to? Was he just managing the race?
His pass on Martin looked quite easy to me.
Pecco always manages from the front. If he is able to get there, he never pushes to disappear Lorenzo style. He just builds up a decent lead, and waits to be pointed to his spot in Parc Ferme.
