The technical evolution that consolidates Bezzecchi's dominance 🏍️

The performance of Bezzecchi's Ducati GP23 shows fine tuning at the Mugello circuit. Tire management and traction in fast corners were key factors in making the difference. The VR46 team has worked on the electronics to optimize acceleration, allowing the rider to maintain a steady pace without excessive tire wear. Jorge Martín, on the official GP24, did not find enough grip to respond in the final laps.

Bezzecchi's curious method to save fuel 😂

According to unconfirmed sources, the Italian reportedly asked his team to install a portable fan in the fairing to cool the engine on the straights. The idea was so simple that Ducati's engineers laughed before reviewing the data. In the end, it turned out the trick worked to reduce temperature and, incidentally, distract rivals by making them look at the gadget instead of overtaking.
