FIM Investigates Ducati Lenovo Team: Tire Pressure of Bastianini and Bagnaia at Italian GP 2024 Under Scrutiny
The FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) has launched an investigation into the Ducati Lenovo Team following concerns over the tire pressure of Enea Bastianini and Francesco Bagnaia during the Italian GP 2024. The inquiry comes after reports suggested that both riders may have raced with tire pressures outside the allowed limits, raising questions about the legality of their setups.
The investigation was prompted by a combination of performance disparities and complaints from rival teams who believe that the tire pressure irregularities gave Bastianini and Bagnaia an unfair advantage on the track. With both riders delivering strong performances, the scrutiny on their equipment has intensified, leading to heightened tensions in the paddock.
Bastianini and Bagnaia have been prominent figures in the championship race, and any findings from the investigation could have significant implications for their standings and Ducati’s overall performance this season. The FIM is expected to conduct a thorough review, including analyzing data from the race and gathering testimonies from team members and other riders.
As the investigation unfolds, the motorsport community is keenly watching how the FIM will address the situation. The outcome could impact not only the championship race but also the reputation of the Ducati Lenovo Team as they navigate the complexities of competitive racing in MotoGP.
