For the first time in my life,
I can hear the noise of the knee on the ground,
something that I’ve never heard in my life,
after 20 years of Moto GP racing.
And also when you make the bike slide in acceleration,
you can feel the noise of the tires!
Competitions like this one are basically
the reason why technology improves.
Pushing the limits of technologies,
pushing the limits of competitiveness,
is the reason why things keep improving over the time.
What innovations, what improvements are developed for the racetrack,
then can be moved to the mass market
and therefore make these technologies more available,
easier to use, more safe,
and also more convenient for everybody.
So that's the ultimate goal;
to get there, we have to go through the races.
We want to be a leading operator in charging infrastructure.
We want to be leading especially in innovation and the new technologies –
and this is the perfect environment
where we can test and challenge our technologies
in order to improve and to deliver very good performances.
Our bike needs to be able to deliver emotion.
It's kind of this mix, this magic mix.
We can design a technology where Ducati’s in the middle,
but we have a very clear sustainability goal in the long term.
For us, sustainability is something very important.
It's one of the key things of Dorna.
For me, the only way to realize that the people
who have different opinions about the electric bikes,
they can see this is a real race, a real bike,
the speed is right and the situation and the battles between the riders is right.
That, for me, is the way to show in front of the fans
that the electric mobility is a possibility.
The idea was to commit to develop the best ever,
the highest performance ever, build an electric motorcycle.
And I personally tested the bike in Mugello, in the middle of last year,
and it's very, very, very fast and therefore emotional product.
And so it's perfect for a sport product.
The acceleration of the electric bike is something that you cannot believe.
It’s incredible, especially when you go after the slow corner,
when you touch – just touch! – the gas,
the bike is incredibly fast and goes out from the corner –
and it's fantastic!
