The former Aprilia chief is at Valencia and spoke about how he intends to change the organisation of Ducati Corse before he looks at the technical areas of company - but confirmed there would be a 'completely different' bike by the time the Sepang tests come around in February.
"It is not an easy job. Ducati come from two or three really difficult years so we have to change a lot to improve everything. I will start with the organisation because when I came here I realised there are two completely different units inside Ducati Corse - the racetrack unit and the people that work in Bologna," said Dall'Igna, speaking at Valencia.
"The first job is to join those properly so the information flows from the track to the people in Bologna well and fast to improve the bike as soon as possible. We will re-organise Ducati Corse and give to people at the track important job in Ducati, so it is easy to share information between parts.
"Ducati have a lot of racing knowledge in general. That means not only electronics or engine but the chassis also. I hope we will improve in the chassis and I hope we can find a way to put Ducati in the position everyone wants.
"I want to check the problems the bike have at the moment and I have to work to improve that. We can check if something different is better than the systems we use now.
"We have to improve the bike we are using now and the bike that will on the track at Sepang will be completely different. If we have to produce something completely different in the future, then we will do that.
"It seems the most important problems are in the chassis but improvements on the engine will also count. For me, the Desmodromic is a good system so I don't see any reason to change it.
"MotoGP is the most important class in racing. For sure we would like to improve that as soon as possible, but on the other hand the Superbike is part of the history of Ducati so we have to work also in that area."
