The MotoGP champion’s curreꦺnt deal (like almost every rider on this year’ꦍs grid) will expire at the end of the year.

Tying Bagnaia down longer-term is inevitably a priority for Ducati bu𒅌t they will limit their commitment to an expected two-year deal, despite his ongoing success.

Bagnaia told that he agrees with t꧃heir policy to not dish out long, five-year contracts.

“I, for one, wouldn't sign,” he insisted. 

“I want to be stimulated. 

“We saw how it went with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez, who had signed a fou🍌r-year contract renewal with Hond🍌a.”

Marquez penned the unusually long contract with Honda, the team where he had won his six MotoGP champions𒁏hips, but opted to terminate it a year early due to his bike’s underperformance.

Bagnaia believes that remaining under pressure leads to the bes🦹t re🔯sults.

“I think the best thing is toꦏ think about two-year contracts to always ꦬdo the best,” he said. 

“My🦩 love for Ducati is there an✅d will remain so. I think it's mutual."

Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali previously rul✤ed out a particularly long contract for Bagnaia.

💟"No,” he told . “I don't think it would be right for the company and for him. 

“It's a competitive sport in which things change.

“We all have to always remain under pressure."

Bagnaia will return this year aiming to win his third consecutive ཧchampionship.

Althou🍎gh he possesses the best machine in th𓂃e sport, Jorge Martin will return with a point to prove.

Not to mention the presence of Marquez on a Ducati which could shak🉐e up the entire pecking order.

But Bagnaia plans to remain as the top dog.

“When you win, you just want to win again,”🌜 he said. 

“I wouldn't want to stop at three. 

“I woulꦜd like to continue for a𝐆 long time, I don't set limits for myself."
