MotoGP in 2024 is at times unpredictable, but the one thing that remains constant is that Ducati has the best bike and is almost always in the hunt for victory.

OPINION: Most forms of motorsport have one event on the calendar each year that stands out as its crown jewel. MotoGP has many highlight races every season but none are identifiable as its own unique event in the same way Formula 1 has with Monaco.

Fabio Di Giannantonio focused on pounding out the laps to take top spot in the test after a seventh-place finish in Sunday’s GP.

At Jerez last weekend, the Gresini rider got his first pole position riding a Ducati. During the sprint race, he was leading but fell off the bike. In the main race, he fought back after dropping to fourth place early on.
