Team manager Davide Tardozzi revealed to BT Sport about the anguish in the Ducati garage as their tw🉐o star men fought on the track.

“I anticipate the quജestion: ‘Did you say something to Enea?’

“Yes.

“‘Don’t be too hard with other Ducati riders’.

“That’s it.

“I think the proof is that when Enea overtook Pecco, hꩲe was three or four tenths slower. They understand that, when staying behind, it is easier to follow.

“In front you could still go withꦏ the same times, but he didn’t.

“We were nervo𝔉us because we were thinking: ‘Do we𒁃 trust our riders?’

“The answer was yes.

“Obviously we were nervous because we still have [MotoGP Argentina 20𝓡16 when two Ducati bikes crashed out together] in front of our eyes and we don’t want ൩it again.

“That was a bad, bad thing.

“We didn’t give orders. They knew what to do.”

“Never say never,” said Tardozzi. “Two points are two points. I𝄹f Quartararo wins, Pecco just needs to finish the race.

“We keep our feet on the ground.

“Knowin🤡g we need only two points to win the championshi🍒p, all the Ducatis will be free.

“The orders will be the same: ‘Don’t overtake other 🔴Ducatis if it is very dangerous’.”

"Bastianini thought: 'Game on!'"

BT Sport’s💛 Sylvain Guintoli added about Bastianini: “He’s not in the factory team so he won🧜’t get the same salary. He will get a big bonus for being in the top three. So why not?

“Ducati say: ‘If it’s for the win, you can race’.

“I love that he didn’t 𓂃hold back, he put Pecco under pressure.

“Enea had good rhythm but Pecco didn’t panic.

“Enea thought: ‘Game on’.”
