Many believe that Ducati dominates MotoGP thanks to gadgets like mass dampers, ride-height adjusters and downforce aero, but its biggest advantage may be its in-depth tyre analysis, assisted by MegaRide's latest gizmo
In the old days, when different tyre brands fought for MotoGP glory alongside different riders and bikes, the best way to find an advantage was by asking your tyre engineer for more grip.
You can't do that under MotoGP's spec tyre rules, so how do you find more grip today? The only way is to extract more from the tyres you share with the rest of the grid and the way to do that is by understanding the tyres better.
Much is made of Ducati's Formula 1-derived technology, from tuned mass dampers to ride-height adjusters and downforce aerodynamics, but the Bologna's brand's less talked-about winning secret is how it analyses the Michelin's spec tyres to maximise their performance.
