After eight rounds of the 2023 MotoGP season, riders on Ducati bikes have won seven races, underlining the dominance of the Italian constructor as they finally emerge from the shadow of their Japanese counterparts.
The red-hot 'Desmosedici' machines make up nearly half the grid with the satellite teams - VR46, Gresini and Pramac - using the Italian manufacturer's bikes. "Hopefully VR46 may go to Yamaha next year so that will level things up a bit. But you can't blame Ducati if they've got the best bike for getting the best customers."
Ducati's aerodynamic packages have been key to their resurgence, with Aprilia and KTM following suit to design bikes with radical wing designs and appendages.
