        Nothing succeeds like excess and no one succeeds in MotoGP like Ducati: The most bikes, the most top riders, the most horsepower, the most engineers, the most data and so on. That’s why MotoGP is so deep in the Ducati era right now, like once it was in the Honda era and the MV Agusta era. 

        At MotoGP’s traditional first tests at Sepang, Malaysia, the fastest five bikes were all Ducati GP24s and GP23s and there was a total of seven Desmosedicis in the top 10. In other words, not much has changed since last season.
