JAKARTA Ducati insists on denying the possibility that Valentino Rossi could have a negative impact in their factory garage because of his close relationship with Francesco Bagnaia.
Bagnaia will try to win the world title this year against Marc Marquez, his team-mate at the Ducati manufacturer this year as well as a former tough rival from his teacher Rossi.
Ducati Lenovo Team manager Davide Tardozzi confirmed that Rossi and Pecco Bagnaia's good relationship does not mean they can disturb their team. He emphasized that Bagnaia certainly has its own stance.
"Not at all because Pecco has his own way of thinking. I know very well that in the VR46 team, Pecco said what he was thinking and it's not what other people want to hear," Tardozzi said.
Since Ducati decided to bring Marquez into their team, many predictions regarding the harmharmony in the Italian manufacturer began to emerge.

Rossi is expected to have an unhealthy impact on Ducati. There is a possibility that he can intervene and help Pecco to win the title because of his unfavorable relationship with Marquez.
In addition, Tardozzi also denied any jealousy that arose in Bagnaia's mind because media interest and sponsorship of Marquez were much higher than he was.
"No. If Marc signs a contract with another manufacturer, the media will also be interested in him."
"Pecco knows where it is in Ducati. Marquez's arrival will not reduce anything from him," he said.
The first MotoGP 2025 race will take place in Buriram, Thailand, on February 28-March 2, 2025. This is the first time Southeast Asia has opened a series since Malaysia in 1999.
