Holidays are over: the Ducati Lenovo Team back on track at Balaton Park with the Panigale V4 S together with all the Ducati Corse MotoGP teams

The holidays ended prematurely for the Ducati Lenovo Team and the other Ducati Corse MotoGP teams. Marc Márquez and Francesco Bagnaia, together with the riders from VR46 Racing Team and Gresini Racing Team, headed to Balaton Park for a day of testing on the Ducati Panigale V4 S.

It was a busy Tuesday, a team-building event with seven riders on track (together with Marc and Pecco, also Fabio Di Giannantonio, Franco Morbidelli, Alex Márquez, Fermín Aldeguer and Michele Pirro) to get used to the Hungarian track, which will host the Hungarian GP for the first time the weekend of August 22-24. A total of approximately 70 laps between Pecco and Marc and a more than positive feedbacks ahead of the imminent return to racing (next track event - August 15-17, Austrian GP at Spielberg).

Francesco Bagnaia (Ducati Lenovo Team #63)
"Getting back on the bike after the holidays is always nice. My first impressions of the Balaton track are good. The track is small, you have to be careful in the chicanes, but I'm satisfied. The layout is unique, and we're having fun. It will be different with the Desmosedici GP, but for now I'm enjoying it with the Panigale V4, even trying to slide it".

Marc Márquez (Ducati Lenovo Team #93)
“A great day on track with the entire Ducati Corse Squad. I'm happy; the track layout is unique and unusual. It will require a slightly different riding style; it's a stop and go track and you'll need to adapt. The faster you get into the rhythm, the better it gets, and you can really enjoy the speed. The tarmac is good; they did a great job. I can't wait to race here with the MotoGP bike".
