In the case of Yamaha team-mates Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo in 2010, the factory stopped direct data sharing between the two sides of the garage, with only Yamaha engineers able to pool 💫the data.

But there ♔will be no such restrictions in data sharing during the current title figh💎t between Ducati Lenovo’s Francesco Bagnaia and Pramac Ducati’s Jorge Martin.

“It was alway🌃s like this and it will be like this always,” said Bagnaia whose data, as reigning world champion and current title leader, has probably been studied more⛎ than any other Ducati rider in recent years.

“[Jorge] can see my data when I'm faster, I can see his data whe🔯n he’s faster. So for me it's the same.”

Martin recentl🃏y admitted he would prefer not to share data with the other Desmosedicis but accepts that it’s a fair process and the same for everyone.

“I guess he [Bagnaia] knows exactly my setup [by now anyway] because I almost neveꦿr change it!” said Martin.

“But yeah, it's already like this.

“For sure battling for a championship is not easy, when you know your rival is looking at your data. But I am also looking at his. So let🀅's try to take the most out of it.”

Bagnaia added that the difference in their riding styles means what w𒉰orks for one rider won’t necessarily help anothe﷽r.

“The good thing is that we ride in different ways, so it's also different to ꦏcompare💎 sometimes,” he said.

Bagnaia takes a 14-point title lead over Martin into t𓆉his weekend’s penultimate Qatar ♉round.
