Dall’Igna has been general manager at Ducati for nine years when he started, and still oversees, the Desmosed🐬ici project.

And while Dall’Igna can take credit for the best bike on the MotoGP grid which looks set to win two championships in a row, Honda are struggling with arguably th🌜e worst machine.

Alberto Puig, the Repsol Honda team manager, “had in his handsꦉ the possibility of hiring the guru of the paddock,” report.

But the fantasy move fell apart.

Honda were “scared in the last moment,” the report claims.𓂃 

“Out of haughtiness, out of arrogance - they think꧂ that no one can teach them anythin🥀g.”

Puig n💛ow “lives in despair,” the report continues.

“Biting his tongue all day, r🌊epress൲ing himself to comment on what he thinks.

“Puig is tired, fed up.”

The difference in the machinery at Ducati and ꧒Hond♓a could not be starker.

Puig has watched his two factory riders, Marc Marquez and Joan Mir, complete just one granꦆd prix each this season, after 10 rounds.

Factory Ducati rider Francesco Bagnaia, meanwhile, is vying for a second consecutive MotoGP title with his closest c🐎hallenger, Pramac’s Jorge Martin, also riding a latest-spec Desmosedici - the crown jewel of Dall’Igna’s career.
