Francesco Bagnaia and Jack Miller know a thing or two about speed.
The Ducati Lenovo MotoGP racers take the track almost like ballet dancers. Bagnaia’s movements are smooth and flowing, his lines straight and clean. On the racetrack, he appears one with his bike as he takes each corner with grace, style, and — most importantly — speed.
Miller’s manner, on the other hand, is distinguished by a higher sensitivity on the grip level, said Christhian Pupulin, Ducati chief engineer for Miller. His distinctive style makes him well-suited to a variety of different track conditions and competitors.
MotoGP racing requires robust technical expertise and ability from the rider, but it also requires impressive technology to tailor the bike to the rider’s exact needs and specifications. Customization is key for superior performance.
“[Bagnaia] can keep a good corner speed, and he is able to brake very hard and deep into the corner,” Cristian Gabarrini, Bagnaia’s chief engineer, recently told Lenovo. “To maximize these strengths, he needs quite a stable bike.”
Miller, however, “is able to enter corners with higher speeds,” Pupulin said. Therefore, he requires a “specific setting with more static weight on the front wheel,” as well as a more agile, responsive bike.
Though the two styles differ, the end goal is the same: win races and set records.
