I am very interested in the Ducati MX project, cannot wait to see the actual bikes on the track and in production.

Abandoned makes it sound like he is wanting out. But could it be that he has been pushed? Who knows with Domencalli.

Similarly, the dude is 67. I don't blame him for not wanting to spend his life on a plane.

Now he's got a job where he can spend mo6st of his time in the same location. At 67 he must be thinking of retirement tho

Ducati wants to make a move in the MX market and they are not ....... around. The motorcycle market has been trending in that direction post ....., while sport bikes have been trending away.

Interesting article here about Ciabatti's 'human relationships' being a key strength to Ducati's success regarding relationships with riders. Jorge Lorenzo for one, is a big fan.

The key Ducati MotoGP figure stepping aside when it may need him most

A few things that interest me are that it firstly gives Gigi Dallignia even more power as another figure who can oppose him has been removed. The article also notes, that despite opposition from Paulo Domenicalli and Ciabatti. With one of those figures gone, it further opens up the possibility of Marquez being a factory option for 2025.
