Ducati team manager Davide Tardozzi has rejected claims that its 2026 MotoGP bike has been developed too heavily around Marc Marquez, to the detriment of its other riders.
With just five rounds remaining in the season, Marquez is now the only Ducati rider inside the top-five in the standings, with VR46's Fabio di Giannantonio more than a 100 points adrift of him in sixth.
