Ducati Lenovo Team Manager Davide Tardozzi has responded to rumours that Francesco Bagnaia wants to revert to using the 2021 Ducati engine, instead of a 2022 spec the Italian marque have been testing ahead of the Grand Prix of Qatar. Pecco didn’t say the 2022 engine is wrong, I want the 2021 (engine),” commented Tardozzi to motogp.com pitlane reporter Simon Crafar during MotoGP™ FP1. “This is b******* because we give to Pecco a different spec, you have the possibility to manage the engine towards the riding style of the rider, and this engine is towards the style of Pecco and Jack. The other guys were happy with a different spec, and that’s what happened.
