Fermin Aldeguer iꩲs the “cream of the crop” of the next generation, and Ducat♑i have been praised for signing him so quickly.

Moto2 starlet Aldeguer🌱 will progress into MotoGP next year with Ducati.

The swiftness of the Itali♛𒀰an manufacturer’s decision-making in the rider market has been acclaimed.

💮“Good signing,” said Neil Hodgson on TNT Sport. “What a talented y🅠oung 18 year old.

“It sౠounds like he’ll go into the Pramac team. Which you’d expec🉐t. It is the feeder to the factory team.

“🌼If you’re Gigi Dall’Igna, you have just picked the cream of the crop coming through.

“KTM have got Pe🐼dro Ac🏅osta. But the next in line is this man.

“Fermin Aldeguer is special.”

Ducati announced Aldeꦜguer as their signing but have not🍬 confirmed which team he will be allocated to in 2025.

That is partly 🐭because Pramac have not yet finalised a new contract to remain as a Ducati satellite team.

But, Aldeguer is expecting a move into Pramac and to ride the🐠 latest-spec Desmosedici that comes with the team.

The future of Aဣldeguer is one of the key issues as Pramac and Ducati thrash out a ﷺnew deal to remain in partnership.

Pramac have reportedly been given a deadline of June 2 to sign a new d♐eal.

For now, Aldeguer is trying to win the Mo𒀰to2 title so that he can enter the premier class as a world🐎 champion, as Acosta has done this season.

Michael 🌳Laverty analysed Aldeguer for TNT Sports: “Last year, the stability came. He matured. He learned the circus that is Mo🦹to2.

“Then he was able to really find his feet i🐼n the Speed Up t🐎eam.

“Luca Boscoscuro knew what he had in his team. He didn🅰’t want to release him from his contract.

“Luca has got an eye for talent.

“He has an ability to bring them to the fore ℱand get them to MotoGP.

“It’s imp൩ressive. He has ☂a two-year contract in the bag.

“Now, he’s going for the world title this year. Ideal🦩 🐈scenario.”
