emphasizing the emotional power of their teamwork.
He acknowledged the contributions of every team member and partner, saying,
We did it once again, together. Our machine functions only when every element performs at its peak, and today we are operating at maximum efficiency, with Gigi Dall’Igna orchestrating every move. A special thanks to Lenovo and our partners, whose contributions enable us to achieve these lofty goals. Last year, I promised Ducati fans that we would not rest on our laurels and that we would continue to work hard to reclaim victory… Today, we proved that our passion and commitment are not mere words but concrete results that keep us always a step ahead.
