![]() Martin, who is widely expected to succeed Miller in the factory team for 2023, could well end up with full factory support in the Pramac Racing garage by the end of the year should he live up to his expected potential, essentially being granted an early switch to factory rider status in all but colours if things go well for him. The bold move to follow Bagnaia’s chosen direction is a sign of just how much the team has put its trust into him for the coming season, with the decision to reverse its strategy to appease him very much a signal that he is now the number one rider within the factory squad.īut with the factory believing that the 2022 engine has more potential, even if it’s perhaps not quite ready to be fully competitive just yet, it could create an unusual dynamic towards the end of the season should Martin, in particular, find a way to make it work for him. That lack of time to physically produce engines to take to Lusail, where the spec has to be frozen, means that the rest of the GP21 riders (Johann Zarco, Jorge Martin and Luca Marini) will remain with the 2022 engine they’ve been using throughout testing. Engine Liquid-cooled, 90 V4, four-stroke, Desmodromic DOHC, four valves per cylinder Capacity 1,000cc Maximum power Over 250hp Maximum speed Over 218 mph (350 km/h) Transmission Ducati Seamless Transmission. With the decision to make the change coming only ahead of the Qatar race, though, it means that there has been limited time to fully implement it across the board. That engine is a modified improvement of the old engine which, thanks to a COVID-induced development freeze, is essentially the unchanged 2020 engine. ![]() However, the one piece of good news for the team is that it’s not quite a full reversion back to 2021’s race engine, but rather to a hybrid spec first used at the end-of-season Jerez tests in November. With MotoGP rules meaning both that the engine spec must be selected before the season starts and that a team using the same specification of bike must have both riders using the same engine, Bagnaia’s decision means that Jack Miller will be forced to also make the change back to the older engine – although, according to Ciabatti, it was a decision made in unison by the two riders. In the end, that’s what was approved for the factory team.” ‡ Livery and sponsorship may vary from the original due to licencing restrictions and local laws.“We think our riders, especially Pecco, wanted something a little bit smoother, so in Mandalika we tried the 2022 engine with some specs of the previous engine, to make a kind of a hybrid version. * The manufacturer places a 3+ years age recommendation/grading on this item, but as children develop at very different rates, it is the buyers' responsibility to assess this item's suitability for the intended user.
