Ducati MotoGP boss Gigi Dall'Igna believes that technical packages that include ABS and active suspension would not only improve bike performance but make racing safer.

The enigmatic Italian, an engineer through and through, has brought Ducati to the top of MotoGP and given them arguably the best bike on the grid but he says more and more could be done.

"We have ideas to improve the bike, things we will try out between now and the Qatar tests. I need to find a way to improve the bike mid-corner, still an area in which we need to work," said Dall'Igna.

"Throughout my career, I have never looked for excuses, I've never said we haven't won because of a rider or technician. I have to do all that I can with what I have, and everyone around me must do the same.

"As an engineer, but also with a view to the production bikes, I think that if it weren't for budget restraints, we work on the electronics, suspension and braking - so ABS and active suspension.

"This kind of work could increase both the performance and particularly the safety of the bike."

Yamaha debuted active suspension in WorldSBK 2008 but it was immediately banned.
