Good read that,one thing not mentioned with the Ducati evolution is according to one of their riders in a podcast the other month,I think it was Iddon or Bridewell, the 2023 fuel tank is different & changes the weight distribution of the bike resulting in better handling

At the moment the 'Aliens' are the bikes, and by the bikes I mean the Ducatis.

The big advantage Ducati have in MotoGP is the input from 8 top-level riders every race weekend. They're not listening to just one voice (a la MM at Honda) but to a range of tastes/preferences. This can (and I'm sure does) also feed into their WSBK program.

Ducati in motogp have caught that elusive magic of a bike anyone can ride,this in turn makes fast riders want it. The two things will feed off each other until another marque steps up to the...uh...mark.
