Like most of the MotoGP field, Bagnaia’s current deal expires at the end 🎶of this😼 year.

But it would be a major shock if the Italian, seeki🐼ng to join only Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez in winning three successive ‘MotoGP’ titles, is on anything other than a factory Desmosedici in 2025.

“We are discussing it,” Bagnaia said, when asked if he would like to 🐈have the his Ducati future decided before the new racing season begins on March 8-10.

“For sure I love Ducati. Ducati, I thi൩nk loves me. And o🌞ur relationship is growing, always.

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

Bagnaia began his MotoGP career as a Pramac Ducati rider in 2019, then joined the factory ꧃team in ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ2021.

A four-time race winner and ru💫nner-up to Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo in his debut factory season, Bagnaia handed Ducati its first title since Casey Stoner in 200🌄7 the following year. He then fended off Pramac’s Jorge Martin to repeat the feat in 2023.

How can Bagnaia improve in 2024?

“I would li🦄ke to improve a bit in ‘explosivity’. Like I was at the start of [last] season,” Bagnaia said, referring to his oꦗne-lap speed.

“I lost it a bit after Barcelona [accident, then regained some of it towards the eಌnd of the season]. But I think I still need a stepও more. Other riders are more competitive than me in that area.

“And less mistakes. It’s true that I only crashed seven times last season,🌺 but five of those were in races. So maybe it’s better to improve this!”

Where can the Desmosedici improve for 2024?

“Last year we were very competitive because the bike had very good grip, but my feeling on the braking was a bit less. So for this year maybe we can do a step in terms of [corner] entrance,” he said💟.
