'Elegantly fast without taking needless risks' - Dall'Igna's assessment made me slap my knee. The truly fast riders are the ones with no waste in them. Winning consistently without crashing is the hardest thing of all. Ducati's top brass acknowledging that maturity in Marquez. And their 22nd title in their 100th year is a finish that couldn't be more fitting.

Dall'Igna is basically Ducati's technical chief, right?

Right, he's essentially the general-manager figure who's driven Ducati's rise in MotoGP.

A Ducati 100th-anniversary piece and a WorldSBK 22nd-title piece both dropping together is almost too neat to be a coincidence.

It's an in-house assessment from the team, so I'd take it with a grain of salt for some inevitable polish.

That description of Marquez — 'an elegance that takes no unnecessary risks' — really lands differently when you remember his old crash habit.

From the reckless riding of his younger years to this controlled strength now, I guess Marquez himself has evolved too.

A 22nd title in the company's 100th anniversary year — for Dall'Igna, this must be about as perfect a milestone year as it gets.
