The final 2023 pre-season tests took place over the weekend at Portimao, where Ducati carried on from where it left off at Sepang last month: making everyone else look slow.
At Sepang the Squadra Bolognese had seven bikes in the top nine, at Portimao it was six bikes in the top seven, so you'd better get used to it: if you thought Ducati ruled last year – winning the riders' title, the constructors' championships and more than half the races – the factory is likely to be even more dominant in 2023. For a multitude of reasons…
Ducati again has eight bikes on the grid, with at least six riders capable of winning or challenging to win races. Plus, its factory line-up is stronger, the Pramac team has better engines, Luca Marini is totally dialled into his GP22, VR46 team-mate Marco Bezzecchi has a GP22 instead of the GP21 he rode last year and Alex Márquez is faster than his big brother aboard a Gresini GP22.
