Ducati’s Gigi Dall’Igna says there is still “work to do” to keep 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia with a new contract but he’s hopeful of strikin♑g a deal.

Every MotoGP rider except for Brad Binder (KTM) and Luca Marini (Honda) will see their current contract eꦅxpire at the end of this season, meaning there could be a silly season furore in the coming months ahead of 2025.

Dall’Igna predi๊cts that some riders will decide theiꦗr long-term moves in the early stages of the 2024 MotoGP season.

Bagnaia, as꧙ the champion of the pa♎st two years and Ducati’s key factory rider, is a priority to keep for the Italian manufacturer.

“We are working to t💃ry to find an agreement with Pecco,” general manager Dall’Igna told .

“A contract with a two-t﷽ime MotoGP World Champion is never an e𒁃asy thing, so we still have work to do.

“But I hope to be able to do it shortly.”

Bagnaia previously said: “We are disc🧸ussing it.

“For𒊎 sure I love Ducati. Ducati, I think loves me. And our relationship is growin🔯g, always.

“So I think it is a matter of a short time…”

But not every contract is a formality.

Jorge Martin insists he will quit Ducat🌊i unless he is guaranteed a factory seat in 2025, while Marc Marquez’s arrival at Gresini could be a stepping stone onto another team.

KTM dream of expanding thei🐎r presence with extra bikes and have the prodigious Pedro Acosta making his MotoGP debut, while VR46 must decide whether or not to take their team to Yamaha which could have a🌜 knock-on effect in the rider market.

Dall’Igna warns that the firsꦐt movements of silly season will come among the earliest rounds.

“I🐷n my opinion, many will start moving early,” he💧 said.

“So I think there will be a lot for you to report in tܫhe first few months of the year.”

The key decision for Ducati, assuming they cling onto Bagnaia as🍒 expected, is who to put alongside him in red next year.

Martin’s fut✤ure is at stake, perhaps Marquez’s with the Italian manufacturer too.

But Enea B෴astianini 💛could yet do enough to warrant staying on.
